Barbera d'Alba Superiore La Lisi from the Ghisolfi winery is a fine expression of the typical Piedmontese grape variety. The grapes used for its production come from the most recently planted vineyards located near the winery in Monforte d'Alba, in the Visette area. The grapes, harvested when fully ripe, are quickly delivered to the cellar for processing. And, to enhance its freshness and fragrance, an initial cold maceration of 36 hours is carried out, followed by a further 5 days of maceration at a controlled temperature. Only then, when the must is rich in colour and aromas, is the actual fermentation phase begun, which is carried out exclusively by indigenous yeasts. After racking, then follows a maturation phase in small oak barrels that lasts for about 12 months. A short bottle ageing of a few months completes the process. Intense ruby red colour with garnet hues, it has decidedly fruity aromas. In the mouth, however, it reveals itself to be a pleasant and savoury wine. Well balanced in all its components, with notes of raspberry and berries.
Winemakers by passion for 4 generations. On Attilio Ghisolfi's website one is greeted by this welcome. A point of honour for the good winemaker from Monforte d'Alba that is rightly highlighted from the outset. As in every story of companies with a long family tradition, there is a fundamental moment for the Ghisolfi family. A turning point. In this case it is 1988. Until then, in fact, the company had always been 'mixed economy', i.e. based on the production of fruit and wine grapes, with bottled wine representing only a marginal part. When Gianmarco joined the company, however, everything changed. The first historic label, Attilio Ghisolfi, was born, and gradually all the wines produced began to be marketed in bottles. At the same time, orchard land is converted to vineyards and new land is acquired that is particularly suited for growing Nebbiolo. The goals are ambitious and everyone in the company is working to achieve them. And the goals are not yet finished. New challenges, new labels and new wines will certainly be proposed in the coming years.
