5.73
Intense aromas of concentrated ripe red and black cherries with vanilla and hints of brown spice.
100% Barbera
At the beginning of the malolactic fermentation, the wine is moved into French oak barrels and oak cask for 16 months. The wine is held in stainless steel tanks for 2 months before bottling. Unfiltered.
With refreshing acidity, rich tannins, and on the fuller-bodied side for Barbera, the single vineyard La Scarrone has finesse, excellent balance, great complexity, integration and a long lingering finish.
The grapes are selected from the single vineyard Scarrone planted in 1988 situated close to the winery in Castiglione. The vineyard is planted with 6.500 plants per hectare. For 18 days, the most is kept in opened stainless steel tanks for the alcoholic fermentation at 26-28 degrees.
