Barbera d'Alba DOC, this red wine from the territory is offered by the fine winery of the Maccagno family. The grapes, having reached full ripeness, are harvested and pruned in the cellar to be sent for processing. The must obtained undergoes alcoholic fermentation, with maceration of the skins lasting about 10/12 days, with frequent pumping over to favour the complete extraction of colour. After racking, the wine matures for a few months in steel vats, before being bottled and undergoing a further ageing period of at least 8 months. In the glass, one discovers a wine characterised by a beautiful, intense ruby red colour with distinct purple reflections. The nose is intense, with hints of red fruits, cherry, plum and delicate hints of vanilla. In the mouth, on the other hand, it reveals itself to be a pleasantly balanced wine, with a perfect correspondence to what was previously perceived. Finally, pleasant is that particular freshness, typical for Barbera. Ideal pairings? Certainly cured meats, stewed meats and medium-aged cheeses.
