Description
Fruity yet elegant Barbera d’Alba, grown organically at 280m above sea level on the Alba Hills in Piedmont. It’s perfumed with cherries, including both sweet and sour cherries and plums.
Excellent served with roasted red and white meats, and strong cheeses such as: penne with stir-fried beef and red bell pepper, provencal lamb with Mediterranean vegetables, pistachio-crusted pork with plum sauce and fried leeks or spiced venison steaks with red-cabbage confit and red-wine sauce.
Fermentation took place at 30° C over 7-8 days. Thereafter the wine was aged in oak for 7 months: partly in 35-hl. barrels (60%) and partly in Allier barriques (40%); then bottle-aged 4 months.
