Winemaker Notes

How can anyone resist a wine whose name translates as "I will drink"? The playful use of future tense of the verb "bere" connotes the purpose of this delightful wine. An expression of Barbera as easy drinking, to be served alone as an aperitif or with light, simple foods. Fermented and aged only in stainless steel, the soft, fruity freshness of the wine is perfectly balanced with a rich undertone of roses and red fruits; it has a lingering but clean finish.

Monferrato, one of the most important terroirs in Piedmont, lies in the province of Asti, within the golden triangle between Tanaro and Belbo. The Maccario winery is located within this triangle, specifically in the hills of Mombaruzzo. With 175 acres of vineyards, Maccario is the largest estate in Piedmont. The vineyards are dedicated primarily to Barbera. Other varietals include Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Freisa, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Favorita.

Two young brothers, Pico and Vitaliano Maccario, inherited the winery from their grandfather Carlo and run the winery with great professionalism. Pico, with the assistance of agronomist Gianluigi Veggi and winemaker Roberto Olivieri, is in charge of production while Vitaliano manages sales and marketing.

The winery, with a capacity of 5,000 HL, has been fully modernized to include temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks, soft presses and new barriques of varying size, origin and toast. Although production is not certified organic, pesticides are not used and great care is taken in the vineyards to ensure that they vines are grown in perfect harmony with the soil and environment, and that the resulting wines reflect the dedication and efforts of everyone at Maccario.
