Barbaresco DOCG Vino rosso di grande prestigio e qualità, il Barbaresco è stato uno dei primi vini italiani a fregiarsi della Denominazione di Origine Controllata. Prodotto esclusivamente sulle colline di Barbaresco e Treiso, i vigneti sono situati su pendii soleggiati a quote inferiori ai 550 metri sul livello del mare, consentendo una maturazione precoce degli zuccheri. L'invecchiamento di 24 mesi, di cui almeno 12 in rovere, unito a una competenza tecnica finemente sviluppata, rendono il Barbaresco DOCG Le Clivie un vino strutturato e severo, ma al tempo stesso fine ed elegante, caratterizzato da un'inconfondibile trasparenza e limpidezza.
