This Barbera d’Alba is coming from their own vineyards located only in Barolo and Monforte d’Alba area. After the harvest made strictly by hand as is tradition only the best grapes are selected according to the vintage of the 2 vineyards. Thanks to more long aging in barrique make this Barbera of the highest quality and longevity. the special bottle, very heavy, recalls the bottles of the past and enhances its qualities and its organoleptic characteristics.
After the harvest it comes the destalking, soft pressing, follows a fermentation in Inox still tanks to temperature controlled at 30°. This consists in leaving the must in contact with the skins for 15 days. After racking, the ideal conditions for a perfect malolactic fermentation are created in the cellar. The wine matures in Freanch Barrique for 18 months and ages in the bottle for 6 months before being sold. For all step nothing is neglected; everything is done respecting the tradition but with the most modern methodologies and tools.
Intense and bright ruby red color, with intense varietal rose perfumes, ripe red fruits, vanilla notes. Fresh and soft taste, greatly balanced and with good refinement and persistence.
IIt should be served with fresh pasta with meat sauce, meat raviolis, boiled meats, roast beefs and chop-steaks, pork meats.
