Up to 60-year-old Barbera vines planted in sand and limestone tended to by Enrico who farms organically and biodynamically. 250-400m elevation. He raises sheep and moves the sheep around his 3ha farm in an old 4x4 Fiat Panda. “Attaccabrighe” translates to “Wrangler”. People from other villages in the valley gave the Erbanno village this nickname.
