Agricola BES - Bere E Sognare - Daniele Balocco
Bes is a small winery located in Treville, Piccolo
village in the heart of Monferrato Casalese.
The company has about 8.5 hectares of land, 6 of which are vineyards. The vineyards are
all facing south with altitudes ranging from 220 meters to 300 meters above sea level
sea level.
Exceptions are the freisa (north-west exposure) and the baratuciat
(north exposure in production from next year).
The company is certified organic (we are also part of VinNatur) but it works
following the biodynamic philosophy. In the vineyard and in the cellar there is no
presence of no chemicals. In treatments we use a little of
copper and sulfur but above all seaweed extracts.
The harvest is manual in boxes and the fermentations take place
spontaneously using the cellar yeasts present in the grapes.
During the fermentation phase we control the temperatures and the
refinements take place in steel, concrete and wood (editions only
limited for now). Before bottling we add the
sulfur content on average below 30 mg/litre.
We produce 5 wines (Barbera, Grignolino, Freisa, Syrah all in purity and
a rosé from Grignolino and Barbera grapes.
From 2023 to these 5 will be added Nebbiolo e
Baratuciat.
