Cellar
Cantine Barsento is a winery founded in 1969 that has always been founded on the promotion of quality wines from the Nocese countryside alone. What makes this winery so special and unique is certainly the approximately 1,000 square metres of underground cellar dug into the limestone rock and 15 metres deep, with its tunnels and perfectly organised cells that contain true and precious treasures of our winemaking tradition. The function of the underground cellar is to obtain a wine aged in the rock cellar, ensuring that there is precise control of temperature and humidity. The indigenous grape varieties are Primitivo, Malvasia and Negramaro, for the red wines, Verdeca and Fiano; varieties chosen for their expression of territoriality, authenticity and specificity and whose quality is further sublimated through an exclusively manual harvesting process. Even the choice of labels is not left to chance, such as the W'Heart wines that are the result of an innovative communication project in the world of wine: more than 60 special talking artist labels for bottles of white, rosé, red and sparkling white wine. Each one created by Apulian digital artist Claudio Castellana
Description
W'Heart Bianco from the Barsento Winery is a fresh, savoury wine made from Verdeca grapes. It is an intense wine with fruity echoes of medlar, rich, savoury and with beautiful acidity. W'heart is a dream of a wine where the label changes based on your emotions. Love, carefreeness, nostalgia, play. Ten illustrations created by Claudio Castellana, a young digital artist with a simple and instinctive stroke, combined with word games that you interpret, depending on your mood.
