Buttafuoco Storico “Vigna Costera”

Still Red Wines

Our Company became part of the Club del Buttafuoco Storico in 2001 and Vigna Costera was allocated to the production of this exciting wine, the flagship of the company of course. Produced with Croatina, Barbera, Uva Rara and Ughetta of Canneto grapes, it matures in wooden barrels for 16 months and it reaches the market at least 36 months after its picking. Deep ruby red colour. It is a shining and full-bodied wine; its scent is fine, intense, clean, with a slight hint of red fruit, to the palate it is very structured, with a good balance, great personality and long persistence.
