Barbera d’Alba DOC Superiore 2022 Negretti

The Barbera d’Alba Superiore by Negretti is a red wine produced in the municipality of La Morra, in the heart of the Langhe, from Barbera grapes from the Bettolotti vineyard, planted in 1990. The vineyards are located at an altitude between 230 and 270 meters above sea level, with an east-facing exposure on brown, marly, and fresh soils that give the wine structure and depth.

The vinification involves fermentation in contact with the skins for 8-12 days in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 23°C and 30°C. Malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously. Aging takes place for 12 months in French oak barrels and large German oak casks, achieving a perfect balance between fruit and woody notes.

The wine presents a ruby purple color with intense blue reflections. On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe plum, blackcurrant, coffee, and mahogany wood. On the palate, it is powerful and enveloping, with mature tannins, well-integrated alcohol warmth, and juicy cherry pulp. The finish is long, marked by slight toasted accents that complete the sensory experience.

Perfect with braised meats, game, or dishes based on mushrooms and truffles.
