Specifications

Appellation	Barbera d'Asti Superiore Nizza DOCG
Vinification	Destalking and soft pressing of grapes. Fermentation in stainless-steel, temperature-controlled vats at a temperature of 28 °C. The wine is drawn off after 7 days and the first decanting occurs 10 days afterwards. After the second decanting, the wine is stored in stainless-steel vats, where the malolactic fermentation takes place. When the malolactic fermentation is terminated, the wine is left to refine in French-oak casks (225-500L) after which it is bottled. Following the bottling, the wine is left to mature in the cellars for 6 to 12 months.
Tasting Notes	Ruby-red color with purple hues. A suitably intense bouquet of red berries and syrupy fruit with traces of tobacco and cacao. Warm in the mouth, full-bodied, light tannins, a good structure, and long lasting.
Food Pairings	Rich and succulent first courses, main courses of red meat roasts, boiled meat, braised meat, wild fowl and game. It goes well with savory, full-fat, and ripe cheese. And, of course, this wine is perfect just for the pleasure of drinking a glass of good wine!
