ORLANDO ABRIGO CN 111 , Barbaresco DOCG 2020 Bottle
About this wine
ORLANDO ABRIGO CN 111 , Barbaresco DOCG
Orlando Abrigo produces this Barbaresco in Treiso, Piedmont, from south-facing vineyards rich in limestone. Winemaker Giovanni Abrigo bases this cuvée on a selection of Nebbiolo, using the pure rosé clone scientifically designated as CN 111. Following fermentation, the wine matures for 12 to 15 months in French oak barriques. This oak maturation integrates the grape's structure, producing a dry red wine with muscular tannins, balanced acidity, and cherry notes. This bottle represents clear cellaring value for Australian collectors tracking high-quality Italian imports.

Treiso is a municipality in the Province of Cuneo, Piedmont. Orlando Abrigo began growing and selling grapes in the market at Alba. He began winemaking and produced his first vintage of Barbaresco in 1973. The DOCG would later be recognised in 1981. Giovanni Abrigo, Orlando’s son, joined the winery in 1986 and took over two years later. We’re proud to import the wines of Orland Abrigo which walk a tightrope of modernity and tradition, generosity and grace.
Delving deeper into the world of Italian wine, a term you’ll become familiar with is Me.Ga or Menzioni Geografiche Aggiuntive. This is the Italian equivalent of a cru in Burgundy.
Azienda Orlando Abrigo has two Me.Ga holdings in Meruzzano and Montersino. They are located in an area with the highest elevation in the municipality of Treiso. The south-facing vineyards are planted on white soils, rich in limestone. The steep slopes are scored by deep gullies that resist mechanised harvesting as though insisting they be tended by hand.
Orlando Abrigo’s DOCG Barbaresco wines are the result of the separate vinification and ageing of each single parcel within the Me.Ga and the subsequent selection of only the best parcels. You can access the Meruzzano, Montersino and the Rongalio Riserva, only produced in extraordinary years.
