Cavanna is the subzone closest to the center of the village of Barbaresco. The exposure is west to southwest and the soils are composed of laminated Sant’Agata Fossili marls mixed with silt. Our vineyard, divided into three parcels, ends at the sheer dropoff of the cliffs along the Tanaro River, whose currents contribute to a unique microclimate.
The vineyard is the one we hold most dear: it was the first to be vinified as a single-vineyard by Luigi in 1971 and, ever since, we have been the only producer to produce a Barbareco bearing the vineyard designation.
