The Cascina Delle Rose Barbaresco Tre Stelle comes from a small vineyard whose bottom is of marine origin from the tertiary era, characterized by bluish marl (from 1 to 3 meters deep), calcareous and compact. The stratification is dense and varied, rich in minerals and natural resources.
The Barbaresco Tre Stelle was born by a strict selection in a vineyard of Nebbiolo grapes. The immediate characteristics are the complexity and depth that goes with elegance and finesse. In the glass the wine is garnet red with light orange reflexes. The taste is intense and persistent and the intriguing scent has a slight hint of wild fruit, spicy with sensations of leather and pepper. The wine is bold and robust with dark cherries and red currants. It is also very pronounced in terms of tannins and structure. Only 4000 bottles have been made.

BAROLO VS BARBERESCOPiedmont - synonymous with truffles, risotto and, of course, delicious wines! - is considered one of the best wine regions in Italy. Due to the local conditions of the terrain, soil and weather, a number of fantastic wines are made. Regarding the red wines, the Barolos and Barbaresco's are world-famous, powerful wines. Although the Barolo and Barbaresco are made from the same grape, Nebbiolo, and produced in adjacent areas less than 16km apart, the wines of Barbaresco and Barolo have a number of distinctive differences.
The Barbaresco area is located south of the Tanaro River and, due to its location, the area is a slightly higher average temperature that makes it possible for the Nebbiolo grape to ripen just a little earlier than in the Barolo area. Young tannins in a young Barbaresco are often not as hard as Barolo and under DOCG rules it is permitted to release Barbaresco for sale a year earlier than Barolo. The most pronounced difference between the two wines is that Barbaresco's tannins tend to soften more quickly, making the wine more accessible at a younger age than Barolo. The Barbaresco area is smaller than the Barolo area with an annual production of approximately 35% of the Barolo production with the result that Barbaresco is not so widely available on the market.
