Mauro Veglio – Barbera D’Alba – Piedmont

Description

Overview: This wine uses grapes from the shaded and the youngest vineyards of Cascina Nuova, the seat of our winery. Here, the grapes grow quite juicy, giving us a velvety, light Barbera dAlba that is especially enjoyed when drunk young and fresh. Vinification: maceration on the skins in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for about 6-8 days before the grapes are pressed and alcoholic fermentation is concluded in stainless steel (about 20 days), where malolactic fermentation also takes place at a controlled temperature. The wine ages in stainless steel for several months, and in the following summer after harvest, it is bottled without fining or filtration.

Tasting Notes: This opens with a touch of cherry backed by notes of exotic spice, leather and moist earth. It has a plush, succulent mouthfeel and crisp acidity.

Pairing:Duck, goose, and game birds
