Barbera d’Alba DOC Monbirone Monchiero Carbone
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Mombirone cru is where the family’s winemaking tradition originated. In 1918, great grandmother Tilde bought the first small plot of land, which had already been planted with Barbera, as the excellent results given by the vine grown on its clay calcareous soil were widely known even then.
Vineyards are located around the top of the hill, with a surface area that has expanded over the years reaching now 4 hectares. The East, South and West exposure allows for consistent quality, because the different exposures even up the grapes’ ripening time brought by each vintage. It is here that, after more than a century, our best Barbera grapes grow, producing Barbera d’Alba MonBirone, a powerful wine of great elegance and structure, thanks also to the age of the vines which are now over 40 years old.
Harvest : the first 15 days of October; after the pressing the alcoholic fermentation begins, carried out in the traditional way for a period of 15/20 days.
Fermentation and the aging : in wooden barrels, which can last between 15 and 20 months. After bottling the wine rests for about 6 months in our underground cellars and is then released on the market about two years after the harvest.
Grape variety: Barbera 100%
Production area: Roero, municipality of Canale
First year of production: 1961 Sensory profile
Colour: dark and deep with intense ruby tones, enriched by purple reflections.
Nose: excellent intensity and finesse with aromas ranging from underbrush to cocoa, with spicy notes (juniper berries) blending into fruity notes of morello cherry and plum.
Taste: the entry shows a great stratified and complex strength, the alcohol ensures an initial softness immediately balanced by the acidity, which gives lightness to the fruity pulp. The finish is long and fresh and delivers good harmony between fruity and woody sensations.
Food pairings: its richness in alcohol and good acidity recommend its consumption with all meats prepared with long cooking, but also enjoyable with medium aged cheeses.
Alcohol content: 13,5 - 14,5%
