Barbera D'alba Doc
Barbera D'alba Doc
For this wine we use grapes from the cooler exposures and from the younger vineyards of the small hill of Cascina Nuova, the location of our company.
Here we cultivate juicier grapes that yield an exuberant, velvety, and light Barbera d'Alba, to be enjoyed young and fresh.
Variety: 100% Barbera
Age of vineyards: planted in the early 2000s
Vine training system: Guyot
Vinification: maceration on the skins in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for about 6-8 days before the grapes are pressed and alcoholic fermentation is concluded in stainless steel (about 20 days), where malolactic fermentation also takes place at a controlled temperature. The wine ages in stainless steel for several months, and in the following summer after harvest, it is bottled without fining or filtration.
Color: intense ruby red with violet reflections
Aroma: fruity, fresh, with young, captivating notes of red fruits, particularly amarena cherry and plum
Flavor: balanced flavor with slightly acidic notes that are typical of Barbera, and a well-expressed minerality with a final, delicate savoriness
Serving temperature: 16°-18°C. It is particularly enjoyable to savor its initial freshness and then appreciate the evolution of its aromas as the wine slowly warms in the glass.
Evolution: ideally drunk in the first years after its release, but may offer surprising nuances even after some time
