Livel, voornamelijk Nebbiolo, komt van wijngaarden van zo'n 500 tot 600 m hoogte. Spontane fermentatie, zonder toegevoegd sulfiet. Lange maceratie en 3 jaar gerijpt in grote houten vaten. Daarna nog 2 jaar op fles. Wauw! 

Artisanal wines from the mountains in Northern Italy, high up in the Alps, you find the 6 hectares of vineyards of Barbacan in San Giacamo di Teglio, Valtellina. Terraces, wintery slopes full of snow in winter. It's almost an incredible job what they do here. And the wines? Extraordinary. They are all Nebbiolo, which is called Chiavennasca in this region.
