Barbera d’Alba

Superiore Doc

Made from 100% Barbera grapes

Soil:

loamy sand, calcareous

Exposure:

South, South-East

Training system:

Classic Guyot in the counter

Vinification:

in red over the cup with daily pumping over, long maceration on skins, racking and subsequent malolactic fermentation

Ageing:

in oak wood barrel for 12 months followed by a period of 6 months in bottle before the sale

From this vineyard, thanks to the sunny and warm exposure and the thinning of the bunches made in late summer, we obtain very ripe grapes, rich in colour and extracts; afterwards the prolonged maceration of the skins and the aging in wood enhance the characteristics of the vine giving it a pleasant, rich and long-lived wine

Colour:

deep garnet, lively, with violet reflections

Aroma:

clean, broad and intense, with notes of rose, cocoa, tobacco and vanilla

Taste:

full, harmonious, sapid, with a pleasant, persistent finish

This wine goes well with important and rich meat dishes such as roasts and wild game.
