2019 Roagna Gallina, Barbaresco DOCG, Italy Eigashima Shuzo Kerner and Schiava direct press

Kerner and Schiava direct press

The farming is certified-biodynamic and the all vineyard work including harvest is manual

so each bottle is DIFFERENT (done by hand) & may look like it's Barbera

but a great deal of fresh fruit on the palate
