Barbera d'Alba
DOC Superiore
Silky, austere with spices and jam
On an organoleptic level, it is striking for its wide organoleptic endowment capable of ranging from notes of ripe fruit to spices, from floral to graphite and pastry notes.
Grape variety
Barbera grown in Guyot with sustainable viticulture.
A generous vine with great vigor and rusticity, thanks to the average age of the vines exceeding 30 years, the decisive summer leaf removal and thinning operations with the elimination of the wings from the bunch at veraison, leads to the achievement of a great vegetative balance useful for the production of small bunches and qualitatively very valuable for an excellent wine.
Harvest
It falls in the first days of October with manual selection, usually delayed in order to complete ripening the fruit, reduction of the acid component and general increase in quality.
Winemaking
The grapes are gently destemmed with light crushing and subsequent cold static maceration on the skins for 1 day to promote the natural enzymatic processes. Alcoholic fermentation at 24° C for 25 days with frequent punching down to promote the production of the rich aromatic set and a good extraction of the anthocyanins, authors of the intense color of this wine.
Serving suggestion
Temperature: 16-18°C and consume it in 10-15 years.
Its generosity makes it a multifaceted wine.
Pairings
A wine of great elegance and pleasantness, it is also suitable in combination with courses with sauces or richer in fats: both hot and cold appetizers, first courses, savoury pies, second courses of white meats (especially duck) and red meats (beef, lamb or pork) or medium to long-aged cheeses.
Tasting notes
Colour: intense ruby red with violet and cardinal reflections.
Bouquet: notes of violet and jam of red berries, blackberry, cherry and plum. With ageing, spicy tones appear, hints of cherry in alcohol, bitter cocoa and graphite.
Palate: velvety and enveloping with intense notes of flowers and red berries that are represented. The elegant acidulous vein that gives fragrance and freshness is barely hinted at, moderated by the silky and persistent sensation of sweet softness, toasted notes and the sensation of bitter chocolate powder.
Vineyard characteristics
Area of origin: La Morra and Roddi d'Alba.
Exposure: East
Average altitude: 250 -270 m above sea level
Year of planting: 1965-1990
Soil: Sant'Agata Fossil marls mixed with sandy.
