Climate
Winter 2019, excluding a couple of snowy events and rare rainfall, was characterized by temperatures above the seasonal average, favoring an anticipation of the vegetative restart especially of the vineyards with the best exposure. The climate which tends to be cold and characterized by rains from April to the end of May influenced flowering, reducing the number of grapes per cluster and therefore limiting production. The month of June, characterized by a generally hot and dry period, preceded the rainfall from mid-July. The excellent temperature variations during the month of August and the repeated thinning in the vineyard guaranteed to safeguard the integrity of the fruit. September, which began with a short and intense period of rainfall, continued with rising temperatures and a serene climate until mid-October. It was certainly not an easy year, with a long harvest, with a limited production but characterized by an excellent quality of the grapes. The harvest took place from 24 September to 8 October with healthy grapes characterized by an excellent balance between sugars, acids and polyphenols.
Vinification
The grapes were pressed and de-stemmed. Maceration lasted about 5-7 days at a temperature of 28-30 ° C. The malolactic fermentation ended in mid-December. Wines from different vineyards were blended in spring and bottled.
Historical data
A traditional Barbera, with great freshness and drinkability, from vineyards characterized by clayey and sandy soils. A wine with great balance and pleasantness.
Tasting Notes
