In this case, we are at the top of the quality pyramid when it comes to Barbera grapes. The Barbera from Nizza has always been considered the best and it is no coincidence that it is labelled DOCG. Here we find it in the successful interpretation of Cascina Valle Asinari. A powerful and rich wine from the taste point of view, with a right acidity, typical for the variety. It is made from grapes grown in San Marzano Oliveto, in the province of Asti, on sandy soils rich in silt. Vinification is super traditional, in cement tanks, with spontaneous fermentation triggered by indigenous yeasts. At the end of vinification, this Barbera matures in large Slavonian oak casks for 12 months and ends its ageing in cement vats for a further 6 months. In the glass it has a beautiful ruby red colour, with complex and elegant aromas reminiscent of red fruit and undergrowth. In the mouth, however, it is warm and powerful but also round and fruity. On the table it fears no comparison. When meat is the protagonist, it doesn't matter if it is a simple rib-eye steak, a roast or a braised meat.... This bottle is the right one to open.
