Barbera d'Alba DOC Pio Cesare 2021

Barbera d'Alba DOC is an intense and fragrant red wine, produced by the historic Piedmontese winery Pio Cesare . It is the result of the pure vinification of Barbera grapes, a native variety with unmistakable scents. On the hills of the Langhe the vines enjoy perfect conditions, thanks to the microclimate and the mineral composition of the soil. The plots from which the bunches come coincide with some of the finest crus in the area, in the municipalities of Serralunga d'Alba and Monforte. When the bunches are ripe, the healthiest specimens are selected through manual harvesting. The grapes are then left to ferment in stainless steel for just under a month. To refine the wine, it is left to rest for a year, mainly in oak barrels and a small part in French barriques. Perfect already after bottling, Barbera d'Alba DOC is a red wine capable of reserving great surprises even after 4-5 years of further evolution.
