- A fresh and approachable Barbera with flavours of red cherry and cinnamon enhanced by wild herb tones. A medium-bodied and well-flavoured Barbera full of vibrant pomegranate and red cherry fruit with freshness on the finish. An elegant and intense Barbera with ripe cherry and redcurrant notes layered with spice. It is harmonious, rounded and beautifully balanced through a lovely savoury finish.
The fruit was picked when fully ripe, and each vineyard block was fermented separately. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks, lasting 10 days with maceration on the skins. A gentle shower system of submerging the cap was used to extract flavour, colour and structure. After malolactic conversion, the wine was racked and aged in a combination of stainless steel and oak. The oak ageing lasted for three months, imparting a subtle complexity, but the final blend retains its freshness and the varietal Barbera characteristics. The wine then spent further time in a bottle, and the maturation period lasted 16 months.
This elegant and intense Barbera is bursting with notes of ripe cherry and redcurrant, layered with a touch of spice. It is harmonious, rounded, and beautifully balanced, with a lovely savoury finish.
