VINERY
Barbera 100%
PRODUCTION ZONE
The grapes for this wine come from the vineyard in the community of Vezza d’Alba .
CULTIVATION OF THE VINEYARD
On this moderately inclined hill, consisting of a soil calcareous and clayey, the low Guyot trellised system is used.
VINIFICATION
The grapes are handpicked, the berries are separated from the stalks and then, softly pressed. Fermentation takes place in thermoconditioned vats at controlled temperature (30-32°C). The maceration period is about 8 days.
MATURATION
Aging is unnecessary for this wine. Presents its best features in its early years. If it is laid down in an appropriate place, however, the wine can be kept for an extended period and it will fully express the classic characteristics of Barbera made from grapes of the Roero zone.
SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS
A purplisch ruby red colour with a fresh bouquet of currants and fruits. A pleasant robust flavour. This wine makes a delightful accompaniment to roasts and most meats.
FOOD MATCHES
A classic wine for the entire meal, it makes a fine accompaniment for appetizers and structured introductory dishes, roasted or stewed meats and cheeses that are not too piquant.
