Wine description
Piemonte is one of the most famous wine regions of Italy, and Barbera d’Asti DOCG Superiore “La Rossa” is one of the wines that has made this region famous worldwide. Made from 100% Barbera grapes grown on sunny slopes in the Monferrato Astigiano area, which is part of the province of Asti in Piemonte. Barbera grapes are the third most planted grape variety in Italy and are known for their lively acidity and fruity aromas.
Barbera d’Asti DOCG Superiore is a wine that has undergone a minimum of 6 months aging in wooden barrels before being released to market. This DOCG classification guarantees quality and authenticity and specifies requirements for the production of the wine. The result is a wine that has an intense ruby red color with a brilliant sheen and a refined and elegant aroma of ripe red fruits such as cherries and raspberries.
On the palate, this wine is full and round, with good acidity and a subtle spicy note. As the wine ages, it gains more complexity and develops an elegant vanilla taste due to aging in wooden barrels. Barbera d’Asti DOCG Superiore “La Rossa” has an alcohol content of 14-14.5% vol. and is produced with a maximum yield of 90 quintals per hectare.
The area where Barbera grapes are grown is of great importance to the final taste of the wine. The Monferrato Astigiano area, where this wine comes from, is known for its favorable climate and soil. The southern orientation of the vineyards provides optimal exposure to the sun, while the limestone and clayey soil provides the grapes with important minerals and nutrients.
In short, Barbera d’Asti DOCG Superiore “La Rossa” is an elegant and refined wine that is a perfect pairing with meat dishes, stews, and pasta with a rich sauce. The DOCG classification guarantees quality and authenticity, and the unique characteristics of the Monferrato Astigiano area provide a wine that will delight the taste buds and let you enjoy the rich Italian wine tradition.
