Francesco Pozzobon is a young winemaker farming eight hectares in Nizza Monferrato on chalky limestone. Inspired by Masunobo Fukuoka's seminal work, 'One Straw Revolution', he practises a radical approach to viticulture - trusting in natural cycles and processes. He farms mostly Barbera (his favourite grape) with a little Moscato, Cortese and Chardonnay alongside, with vines varying from 10-70 years old.
Acru is Francesca's top cuvee from the oldest Barbera vines (45-70 years old). Left to ferment on the skins for a month in old oak with regular punchdowns. The resulting wine is aged in a mixture of old oak barrels and tonneaux (700L large oak barrels). This is a rich bold expression of Barbera.
