Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC 'Funtani' 2017 (750 ml.) Cordero di Montezemolo
Barbera d'Alba Superiore 'Funtani' by Cordero di Montezemolo is made from vineyards located near an old water source at the foot of the slope. Very sunny position, old vines and a natural production of few bunches per plant are the foundations of this product. Made in 1998 for the first time, it wants to express the noblest and most complex potential of this extraordinary Piedmontese vine. A production of a few thousand bottles at the end of a process of aging in wood for over a year, followed by a further year of rest in the bottle. Sublime when young but also to be appreciated at 12-15 years and beyond.
