Barbera d'Alba Superiore - Valletta - 2021
Alario Claudio Winery - Piedmont
Barbera d’Alba Valletta is crafted from the estate's oldest vineyard, over 60 years old. Harvested in mid-October, the grapes undergo a ten-day fermentation for optimal structure and extraction. Aged in French barriques (50% new) for 20 months, with biannual racking, the wine is bottled after natural sedimentation. It features an intense garnet red color, offering complex aromas of blackberry, plum, and jam. On the palate, it is full and enveloping, pairing excellently with flavorful meats like roasts and game.

Reviews
Una barbera davvero interessante: profumi varietali di frutta rossa e nera matura e speziature piccanti, il tenore alcolico viene moderato dalla spiccata acidità che con i tannini eleganti rende questo vino estremamente succoso e gradevole. Il vino della domenica.
My first time trying Piemonte wine, it tasted amazing
