Description
Denomination: Barbera d'Asti DOCG Grape Variety: 100% Barbera Name: La Villa Alcohol: 14.5° Volume: 0.75L Production Area: Scapaccino (AT), Piedmont, Italy Awards: 90/100 James Suckling Description: The grape selection generally takes place at the end of September or the first week of October and is conducted entirely by hand. The grapes are crushed the same evening and placed in stainless steel vats for alcoholic fermentation with a controlled temperature that does not exceed 28°C. The wine maturation continues in steel vats until bottling and subsequent bottle aging, which lasts for several months. On the nose, it presents good finesse, vinous and intense with pleasant hints of cherry and wild berries. The color is a vivid and accentuated ruby red, with violet reflections typical of a young and fragrant Barbera. On the palate, it is decisive, full but balanced with a long and pleasant finish. Perfectly balanced between tannin and acidity. Try it with vitello tonnato, tagliatelle with Robiola di Roccaverano and zucchini flowers, or Mediterranean-style monkfish.
