Grapes: Barbera 100 %Origin & Soil: the Costamiòle vineyard in the township of Agliano with light-colored clays rich in calcareous marlTaste: the wine is a vivid and intense ruby red in color with a grapey and fruity (plum and cherry) aroma. Grapes grown on light and loose-textured soils and modern oenological techniques which enable producers to obtain and conserve fruit and freshness combine to make this a wine which is very pleasurable in its youth. For this reason it goes well with simple dishes such as hors doeuvres, soups, risotto, and pasta. The wine is most enjoyable at cool 13°-15° centigrade (55°-59° Fahrenheit) temperatures.Climate Vintage: In 2012, after an early winter with rather mild weather for the period, temperatures plunged to extremely low levels (-15° to -20° centigrade) and were accompanied by abundant snowfall.A cool and rainy spring was followed, from May on, by a sustained period of much warmth, rarely interrupted by rainfall, and this only in limited areas. Despite the high temperatures, the vines succeeded in resisting stress thanks to the reserves of groundwater accumulated during the spring. The intense rains which arrived in late August and early September were quite beneficial for the crop.Picking began during the first week of September, approximately a week earlier than usual.The vintage, in general, was one of low production, with healthy white grapes which gave wines of much balance and red grapes which will unquestionably be quite balanced as well. Vintage: the grapes were destemmed and pressed and then fermented on their skins for eight days at maximum temperatures of 28° centigrade (82° Fahrenheit). Immediately after being run off its skins, 20% of the wine was aged in 77 hecoliter oak casks were it went through a complete malolactic fermentation before winter. The wine was then aged for several months in stainless steel tanks before bottling in the spring.Alcohol13,5° vol.
