Barbera d'Alba DOC 2021 Sabaudo

A wine that comes from 100% Barbera grapes, in the Monforte d'Alba vineyard. Autochthonous Piedmontese grape, among the most loved and appreciated in Italy, is exalted in this wine which is the emblem of the terroir of origin. The soil is particularly clayey and this gives the wine a splendid minerality. All its Piedmonteseness is expressed not only in the blend, but also in the label, which represents the great Garibaldi, patriot, general and politician, born in Nice in 1807.

Once the grapes arrive in the cellar, they are pressed and cold macerated for 2 days. Fermentation takes place in steel vats at a controlled temperature for 8 days, with a short maceration at the end. Aged in large Slavonian barrels for 10 months.

It radiates the glass with its intense ruby red color, while hints of ripe red fruit stand out on the nose. On the palate it is fresh, dry and long-lasting.

It is the most suitable wine for marrying land-based first courses. Excellent to be combined with red and well seasoned sauces, it is celebrated harmoniously with a plate of tortellini in broth. Try it with pizza.
