Barbera d'Alba DOC Vigna Pugnane Mario Marengo 2021

Barbera d'Alba DOC Vigna Pugnane is a red wine produced by the Piedmontese winery Mario Marengo . It is obtained from the single-variety vinification of Barbera grapes, a local variety appreciated for its vigor and characteristic aromas. The plots that give the wine its name are located near Castiglione Falletto. Here the clayey substrates rich in silt and limestone and the south-east sun exposure guarantee the ideal conditions for the luxuriant growth of the vine up to the time of the harvest with manual sorting. In the cellar, the vinification begins with alcoholic fermentation with maceration, which takes place in steel tanks for 6 days at a strictly monitored temperature. The subsequent refinement involves a rest of 10 months in French barriques, of which 15% on the first passage, and a stay of 4 months in the bottle before being put on the market. Barbera d'Alba DOC Vigna Pugnane can be satisfactorily enjoyed immediately, as well as following further evolution in the cellar for 4-5 years.
