NOTE FROM THE WINE-MAKER
The clusters of dark and crunchy Barbera grapes are born on the hillside vineyards of the castle, giving this Barbera d’Asti Superiore a decisive and strong flavor, rich in warmth.
The yield is limited to 50 q.li/ha with production containment pruning, preventive thinning and a selection during the harvest that is carried out exclusively by hand.
The very particular microclimate due to the position on the Po on the border of the Monferrato hills facing the arc of the Alps gives this Barbera d’Asti unmistakable characteristics.
Refinement takes place in tonneaux built with fine French oak and lasts for about 18 months.
A serious, complex and austere Barbera, which expresses itself in its typicality by releasing a marked freshness perfectly balanced by the right alcohol content and ripeness of the grapes.Very long finish and persistence
