Product details
Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC 2016 L'Astemia Pentita
Description
The Barbera d'Alba Superiore of the L'Astemia company comes from vineyards located in the Cuneo municipality of Monforte d'Alba, in the heart of the Barbera d'Alba DOC.
It is produced with 100% Barbera grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hand. Fermentation takes place, with maceration, in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, for 15-18 days. Subsequently the wine ages for 12 months in barrique before being bottled.
This Barbera d'Alba has a ruby red color. The nose opens with a complex bouquet of strawberry and ripe plum, cooked pear and hazelnut, enriched with notes of vanilla, licorice and coffee deriving from the aging in wood. On the palate it is dry and round, with soft tannins that accompany towards an intense and persistent finish of toasted wood.
Perfect to combine with first courses and stewed meats, it is ideal to accompany red meats cooked on the grill.
