Scagliola

Piemonte Barbera specialist with prestige critic recognition.

Scagliola is a winery in Piemonte, the northern Italian region celebrated for its powerful reds and aromatic whites. The house focuses on Barbera, the region's signature dark-skinned variety—a grape known for its bright acidity, plum-forward fruit, and structural grip. Scagliola's Barbera d'Asti Superiore and Barbera d'Asti represent the winery's core expression of this varietal, each capturing the mineral and fruit character of their respective terroirs. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. The Superiore designation indicates extended aging and stricter production standards, offering deeper complexity alongside the variety's characteristic freshness. Piemonte's continental climate and calcareous soils shape Barbera into wines of substance and balance—neither heavy nor thin, but marked by the acidity and tannin structure that make the grape food-friendly and age-worthy.
