- Other Information:Rataraura is a Barbera del Monferrato Superiore docg from barbera grapes hand-picked in Gaggero and Vicario vineyards – plantation year between 1970 and 2000 – with 40-60 q. per ha yield. It is vinified in terracotta amphorae, with spontaneous fermentation (native yeasts only) and extended (2-4 weeks) maceration. Aging is done for 20 months at least mostly in terracotta amphorae. In the local dialect of 19th century, Rataraura means "bat".
