Barbera d'Alba Vigna Vecchia Scarrone

Designation: Barbera d’Alba D.O.C.

Grape Variety: Barbera 100%

The grapes are sourced from the oldest part of the vineyard located in Castiglione Falletto-Scarrone, with south-east exposure. The density is about 4.300 plants per hectare.  The low production comes from the age of the vines.

Winemaking: pre-fermentation cold maceration. Alcoholic fermentation for about 2 weeks in open steel vats, with mechanical punching-downs and various pumping-overs. After alcoholic fermentation is followed by a post-fermentation maceration with the skins. The wine is then racked and transferred to barriques for malolactic fermentation. Aging: about 18 months, between steel, barriques and barrels.

Description: ruby red color with intense aromas of ripe red and black cherries, notes of vanilla and spices. Vibrant acidity, full body, balance and intense finish.
