Wines Included in This Set
Ivaldi | Piccona Barbera d'Asti Single Vineyard Red Wine
From the prestigious Barbera d’Asti denomination, this Barbera takes its name, Piccona, from the single vineyard where it is harvested in the Monferrato of Piedmont, Italy.

On the palate, the typical Barbera acidity comes through in a pleasant manner, balanced with the tannins and a certain robustness for an overall balanced and persistent wine.
Type of Wine: Red, Still
Grape(s): Barbera
Appellation: Barbera d’Asti DOCG
Vintage: 2020 | 2021

Ivaldi | Ros du Su Moscato d'Asti | Semi-Sparkling Sweet Wine
Ros du Su, meaning ‘Rays of Sunlight’ in the Piemontese dialect where this Moscato d’Asti comes from, and looking into a bright glass of this golden-yellow sweet wine, it is easy to understand the inspiration for this name.
In the glass, the aromatic qualities of moscato are the first noticeable aromas, but underneath subtle and persistent notes of honey and acacia and chamomile flowers come forth creating a complex bouquet. Tasting, the sweetness of the residual sugars are well balanced with freshness and sapidity. A pleasant wine that keeps you sipping, it pairs well with desserts, but is every bit as enjoyable alone in contemplation.

Grape(s): Moscato Bianco
Appellation: Moscato d’Asti DOCG
Vintage: 2021 | 2022
Alcohol % by Vol: 5%

Ivaldi | Susbel Brachetto d'Acqui | Sweet Semi-Sparkling Red Wine
‘Susbel’, in the local Piemontese dialect of Ivaldi in the Monferrato, refers to the location of the vineyard of this Brachetto d’Acqui, where the sun is bright and well exposed.
An aromatic grape, brachetto creates a pleasantly slightly sparkling sweet red wine, and this one is from the important appellation of Brachetto d’Acqui. Left 3 days in contact with the skins, it has a bright and clear light red color, dotted with fine effervescent bubbles. On the nose aromas of rose petals come forth, mixing pleasantly with the aromatic qualities of the brachetto. Sipping, the immediate impact is indeed sweet, yet with enough acidity and a hint of tannins to create a harmonious and balanced wine that keeps you coming back for more. Wonderful to serve slightly chilled to sip with friends in the backyard on a hot summer day, or to serve with fruity desserts. Made with native yeast fermentation and has a residual sugar of 132 g/l.
Type of Wine: Red, Sweet, Semi-Sparkling
Grape(s): Brachetto
Appellation: Brachetto d’Acqui DOCG
