Barat is made with 100% Baratuciat, a nearly-extinct variety originally from the Val di Susa, west of Torino. In the area’s dialect, the name means “the cat’s testicles,” in reference to its oval-shaped berries. The vines were planted in 2015, making the 2018 the first release. Fermented spontaneously and aged in concrete vats until the Spring.
