Elevation: 300 metres above sea level

Barbera

VINIFICATION
Freshly-harvested grapes are destemmed and crushed.
Fermentation is spontaneous in stainless steel tanks at 24°-25° C
The wine is racked after about a week.
Malolactic fermentation in steel tanks is spontaneous.
The wine is cold-stabilised. The wine is bottled in April and
then bottle-aged for about 9 months.

WHEN
Mouth-wateringly crisp:
it won’t stay long in the cellar,
nor in your glass.

CLASSIC PAIRING
Perfect with onion soup and medium-aged cheeses–we suggest
Ossolano, Taleggio or Bettelmatt.
An impeccable union with tongue in sauce.

VINES AND SOIL
2 hectares: vines of approximately 30 years of age on
Lequio formations (grey marl alternating with sand layers)

HARVEST
Hand-picked in the first ten days of October

PRESENTATION
Available format: 0.75 l
Alcohol content 12.5%-14% by volume depending on the vintage
Dense shades of ruby-red with crimson highlights.
Fruit notes when young; blackberry and jam notes develop
as the wine peaks. Full-bodied, with a tart edge accentuating its
fragrance and freshness.

HOW
Store in dark, dry place, at a constant temperature below 20° C.
Serve at 16°-18° C; swirl and oxygenate the wine in a large glass
to concentrate the nose.

UNUSUAL PAIRING
A succulent creamed salt cod? Try it with an exotic Moroccan
cous cous. And with dessert… dark chocolate with 100% cocoa
(so pure cocoa).
