Barbera D Asti 2020 La Luna E Falo Vite Colte

Barbera D Asti, 2020 , aged in oak,   92 Points James Suckling

James Suckling

 A very attractive mix of ripe strawberries, blueberries and cherries with crushed herbs, dried flowers and spices on the nose. So refined and delicious on the palate. Silky and even with a medium to full body and lingering finish. Generous yet fresh and balanced. Drink or hold

Due Bicchiere Gambero Rosso

Grape variety: Barbera

Alcohol: 14.0 % vol.

The over 60 hectares of Barbera vineyards are rigorously selected by our viticulturists, all with low yields; every vineyard is participant in the “Superbarbera” project.
The cuvée is blended from vineyards with slightly different soils and microclimates so that the final wine will offer a better balance between structural solidity and bouquet complexity.
Vinification is traditional, with a 10 day maceration on the skins and a 28-30oC fermentation, followed quickly by the onset of malolactic.
The wine then matures for about 12 months in small oak, about 1/3 new; here, the wine, already impressively structured, acquires a multi-layered depth of flavour and character, evolving into a richly-nuanced barbera of grace and expressiveness.
