The town of Mombaruzzo is located about an hour’s drive southeast of Asti itself and is home to the Pico Maccario winery. Here, brothers Pico and Vitaliano Maccario own 70 contiguous hectares, a rarity in the region. 60 of the 70 hectares are dedicated to Barbera.

Villa della Rosa Barbera d’Asti DOCG is produced from the youngest vines on the estate and is vinified entirely in stainless steel tanks. The goal of Villa della Rosa is to capture Barbera’s floral aromatics and bright cherry fruit character with just a moderate level of alcohol.
