The Barbera d’Alba DOC Vigna Ròca Neira is made with grapes coming exclusively from the Barbera vineyard shown on map page no. 17, 315 P, 432 P, 213 P, 217 P, 216 P, in the cru “Vigna Ròca Neira”. South/southeast exposure.
Vinification: During the ripening of the grapes we thin out the bunches to optimize the yield and then hand-select them before they undergo soft crushing. Selected yeast that respect the fragrant aroma of the wine is added to the must. At the end of temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine is drawn off and racked. The wine remains for about a year in new barriques from Allier (France) and is then prepared for bottle refinement before it arrives on the market.
Visual aspects: Brilliant, intense, deep red purple ruby with violet highlights.
Olfactory aspects: Ample, intense, persistent, fruity (raspberry, then sour black cherry and wild dwarf cherry), spicy with lightly toasted sensations that give way to milk chocolate, clean, characteristic.
Taste aspects: Dry, full, warm, balanced, with well-integrated tannins, very intense and long finish with sensations reminiscent of the bouquet with notes of toasted hazelnuts.
Serving temperature: 61/65° F - 16/18° C.
Aging/Method of storage: At least 10/12 years if stored correctly, far from light in a dry and constant temperature, in the same horizontal position as when it arrives in its case until the moment of consumption.
