| The 6-acre Mondianese
farm, located in the hilly area of Montemagno (“big hill”) and Castagnole
Monferrato in the province of Asti, has a cellar equipped with state-of-the-art
encology. From a vineyard that has been in production for over thirty years, comes this Barbera D’Asti Superiore. These old vines produce only a small amount of grapes, healthy, intense and rich in sugar. Following fermentation in stainless steel, the wine is carefully aged in French oak barrels for 15 months. The result is a wine that is the best example of what a fine Barbera can be. Tasting Notes: A gorgeous bouquet, suggestive of currants, dark cherries and chocolate; in the mouth it is rich, full and velvety with a hint of dark berries and spicy overtones. Perfect accompaniment to a rich pasta, roast lamb or beef. |
