Barbera d'Alba "Vittoria" DOC 2019
IMPORTANT WINE, NOT ONLY FOR THE SPECIAL NAME WE USE IT, BUT BECAUSE IT COMES FROM AN ANCIENT BARBERA VINEYARD, 100 YEARS OLD. OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE LITTLE PRODUCTION, BUT SO STRONG AND ELEGANT AT THE SAME TASTE. THIS BARBERA D'ALBA IS ALSO AGING IN OAK FOR A LONG TIME, AND THAT ALSO IS AN IMPONTART POINT TO OBTAIN A MORE POWERFUL, FRUITY BARBERA WINE WITH BALANCED ACIDITY. IT IS POSSIBLE, IF THERE ARE DIFFICULT SEASON, THE PRODUCTION MAY BE SKIPPED. Notes Intense ruby – purple heus, tending to garnet with aging. Recalls herbaceous and red fruity aromas with hints of mature black fruit. Long and persistent finish final with balancing acidity
