Barbera d'Alba DOC 2024 (750 ml.) Massolino
The Barbera d'Alba by Massolino is made exclusively from Barbera grapes, grown in the hilly vineyards of the Langhe at about 300 m s.l.m., on calcareous-clay soils that promote the right balance between structure and acidity. The harvest is manual, with careful selection of the clusters at the right degree of ripeness. This is followed by spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperature, with a maceration of about 10-12 days to best extract varietal aromas, color, and silky tannins. After racking, the wine remains for several months in steel tanks, aging on the fine lees with periodic bâtonnage to enhance its roundness and aromatic complexity. No passage in wood, to maintain the intact fruit freshness, with notes of cherry, plum, and spices. An elegant and authentic red, perfect to enjoy young.
