Maurizio Ferraro's #SoloVino Barbera is a 100% Barbera sourced from a blend of organically farmed vineyards near the village of Montemagno in Piedmont's Monferrato zone, between the provinces of Asti and Alessandria. The soils here are calcareous, sandy, and clay-based — old marine sediment that keeps the vines lean and the fruit focused. No irrigation, no chemicals.
In the cellar, Ferraro keeps things minimal by design. Grapes are hand-picked, de-stemmed, pressed, and transferred to stainless steel vats where spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts takes over. No temperature control, no fining, no filtration. The wine is bottled with zero added sulfites — a practice Ferraro has followed since 2006 as a member of S.A.I.N.S. (Sans Aucun Intrant Ni Sulfite).
Barbera in this hands-off style retains everything the variety naturally delivers: deep ruby color, pronounced acidity, low tannins, and bright red fruit. Stainless steel aging keeps the wine vivid and sharp rather than round or oak-influenced. Each vintage is bottled as its own statement — labels change year to year to reflect the vintage's character.
The Ferraro family has farmed in Montemagno since 1819. Maurizio took over in the late 1990s, began converting to organic farming around 2001, and made the full leap to natural winemaking in 2006. The estate covers approximately 7.5 hectares planted to Barbera, Grignolino, Ruchè, Nebbiolo, Timorasso, and Chardonnay.
