Barbera d'Alba DOC Collezione del Conte 2019 Villa da Filicaja

Barbera d'Alba Collezione del Conte is a wine that originates from 100% Barbera grapes, in the Monforte d'Alba vineyard. Barbera, one of the most appreciated and versatile autochthonous Piedmontese grapes in Italy, is celebrated in this wine that enhances the terroir of origin. The soil is particularly clayey, cold, and this allows a longer and more homogeneous ripening of the grapes.

In the early stages of winemaking there is pressing and cold maceration for 2 days. Fermentation in steel vats follows at controlled temperature for 8 days. Macerates for a few more days then ages in large Slavonian oak barrels for 10 months.

Its intense ruby red color shines in the glass, while hints of ripe red fruit stand out on the nose. On the palate it is fresh, dry and long lasting.

For its remarkable organoleptic qualities, it is the most suitable wine for marrying first courses of the land. Excellent with red sauces, it is celebrated harmoniously with a plate of tortellini in broth. Try it with pizza.
