Barbera d’Alba, Mauro Veglio

BARBERA D’ALBA

D.O.C.

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 d’Alba that is especially enjoyed when drunk young and fresh

Variety

100% Barbera  

Age of vineyards

planted in the early 2000s

Vine training system

Guyot

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

Color: intense ruby red with violet reflections

Aroma: fruity, fresh, with young, captivating notes of red fruits, particularly amarena cherry and plum

Flavor: balanced flavor with slightly acidic notes that are typical of Barbera, and a well-expressed minerality with a final, delicate savoriness

Serving temperature

16°-18°C. It is particularly enjoyable to savor its initial freshness and then appreciate the evolution of its aromas as the wine slowly warms in the glass

Evolution

ideally drunk in the first years after its release, but may offer surprising nuances even after some time

Bottles produced

about 25,000
