Tasting Notes
The Barbera d’Asti Superiore has been produced by us since 2000 from our company’s best Barbera grapes grown in the Merli vineyard.
Strains of Barbera grown in this vineyard experience optimal environmental exposure and, with a white ‘poor’ soil, they naturally produce very few grapes. The production is about 5000 kg per hectare (much lower than the 9000 outlined by the specification).
This wine was dedicated to, and named after my daughter Ingrid in 2008. IT IS A GREAT WINE!
Colour: Intense ruby red with purple reflections
Nose: Ripe cherries and then sour cherry and black cherry, with a balanced contribution from wood, followed by notes of spice and berries
Flavour: full-bodied and persistent.
