Marchesi di Barolo Barbera d'Alba DOC Ruvei 2020

About

The Marchesi di Barolo estate encompasses approximately 430 acres of vineyards in the Langhe, some of the finest in Piedmont, including the prestigious Cannubi cru. The cellars are located in the village of Barolo, overlooking the Renaissance castle of the Marchesi Falletti di Barolo. Barolo as we know it today was first made in the early 19th century by the Marchese Carlo Tancredi Falletti di Barolo and his wife, Giulia.

Terroir

Barbera d’Alba is the most traditional of Piedmontese wines. The grapes come from vineyards characterized by predominantly calcareous clay soils, alternating with layers of whitish marl, capable of ensuring the wine an excellent structure and giving it a vigorous but balanced character.

Vinification

The grapes, harvested exclusively by hand, are taken to the cellar and quickly destemmed and then delicately pressed. Fermentation with maceration takes place at a controlled temperature and frequent pumping over allows the must to be enriched with all the polyphenolic compounds of the peel. At the end of fermentation and at an optimal extraction level, racking is carried out

Tasting Notes

The color is purple red. The scent is fresh, with fruity notes reminiscent of blackberry, red fruit jam and spicy hints. The taste is full and enveloping, with a slightly evident acidic streak, well blended with the remaining sensations.

Food Pairing

Barbera is a wine for all meals, complete for every occasion. It pairs well with tasty appetizers and first courses with rich sauces, and second courses of boiled or roasted meat. It also enhances traditional minestrone soups. It also goes well with fresh cured meats and hard cheeses.
