Barbera D' Alba - Giacomo Fenocchio

Giacomo Fenocchio's Barbera d'Alba Superiore is a red wine with good structure and intensity. The grapes come from a vineyard of about 30 years, which extends for 2 hectares on land with clayey sediments, blue marl and tuff. It is vinified in the traditional way with fermentation of the grapes in contact with the skins, without added yeasts, for about 10 days in stainless steel tanks. Refines 6 months in stainless steel tanks and six months in large Slavonian oak barrels. The color is intense ruby ​​red with garnet reflections. It has a rather intense aroma, with typical hints of the grape and a full and dry flavor, with a marked and pleasant acidity. With aging it matures, acquiring a full and balanced flavor.
