ADDITIONAL NOTES:

We find ourselves, in this case, at the top of the quality pyramid when it comes to Barbera grapes. The one coming from the town of Nizza, in fact, has always been considered the best and it is not by chance that it is labeled as DOCG. Here we find it in the successful interpretation of cascina valle asinari. A powerful and rich wine from the taste point of view, with a right acidity, typical for the variety. It is made from grapes grown in San Marzano Oliveto, in the province of asti, on sandy soils rich in silt. Vinification is super traditional, in cement tanks, with spontaneous fermentation triggered by indigenous yeasts. At the end of vinification, this Barbera matures in large Slavonian oak barrels for 12 months and ends its aging in cement tanks for another 6 months. In the glass it has a beautiful ruby red color, with complex and elegant aromas that recall red fruit and underbrush. In the mouth, however, it is warm and powerful but also round and fruity. On the table it is unrivaled.
