One of the most historic wines of the Colli Piacentini: ten years of patience, a Mother dating back to 1823, and a story that begins as a gift.
For generations, the Barattieri Vin Santo could not be bought. It was the gift the family reserved at the end of each year for its finest clients and dearest friends: a few bottles, never for everyone, handed over the way one shares a confidence.
Only in 2002 did it officially go on sale, without changing a single detail of how it is made. In uninterrupted production since 1824, it is one of the most historic wines of the Colli Piacentini: a family legacy handed down through generations, faithfully and without any modification.

first offered for saleOnly the finest bunches of Malvasia di Candia Aromatica are chosen by the expert hands of our long-serving harvesters.
The bunches rest on racks, drying in naturally ventilated rooms under the roofs of the estate.
Around Christmas the grapes are pressed, in a vertical basket press, as always.
The wine enters the small casks, some from the nineteenth century, where the Mother established in 1823 deepens its structure and character year after year.
Ten years pass between harvest and release, between cask and bottle: the 2016 vintage comes out in 2026. Only then is the Vin Santo ready.
The online shop is coming soon. In the meantime this wine can be purchased directly at the estate or ordered by phone or email: we will be glad to advise you.
