1x 1,5LT Barolo Cannubi 2015 D.O.C.G.

Presented in Blue gift case

GRAPE VARIETY:

100% Barbera

PRODUCTION AREA:

Peiragal is an ancient word in dialect that identifies gently sloping hills composed of very compact

argillaceous limestone and big stones. This type of soil limits the amount of rainwater that is

absorbed, causing the roots to grow deeply in search of moisture which then rises through

capillary action from the lower layers. As a result, the vine produces loosely-packed bunches of

berries and, therefore, a highly structured wine that is moderately acidic and has a balanced

alcohol content with understated, delicate tannins.

VINE TRAINING SYSTEM:

The vines are upwards-trained on a vertical-trellised system on steep hills.

VINIFICATION PROCESS:

The grapes are collected and quickly taken to the cellar where they are destemmed and softly

pressed to extract only the most noble and aromatic parts from the skins and the outer portion of

the grape. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in thermo-conditioned tanks.

Maceration lasts for 9 days at 28-30° C (82-86° F) and is followed by fermentation. Once this is

completed, the wine is racked in cement vats lined with fiber glass and isolated by cork in order

to maintain the post-fermentation temperature of 22° C (72° F) for an extended period. In this

way, malolactic fermentation starts spontaneously and is completed by December.

AGEING:

The one-year maturation in small, medium-toasted, French oak barrels (225 Liters / 59 U.S.

gallons) allows the wine to attain a perfect balance between tannins, acidity and alcohol. The oak

imparts a soft hint of wood to the wine in addition to the other aromas and tastes. No flavor

overpowers, instead they all blend together in one uniquely pleasant experience. The Barbera

d’Alba Peiragal matures 2 years after being harvested and reaches its peak condition between 2

and 5 years of age.

ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS:

This wine is ruby red in color with brilliant garnet borders. Its fresh and lively nose has distinct

traces of blackcurrant, berries, toasted hazelnut and vanilla. Immediately pleasant, balanced and

harmonious, the taste is elegant with soft tannins. The spicy and woody notes blend together

perfectly.

FOOD PAIRINGS:

Barbera Peiragal is a perfect companion for every occasion. It matches well with all the typical

Langhe appetizers, such as veal with tuna sauce and vegetable soufflés, pastas with rich sauces

and boiled or roasted meats. It enhances traditional vegetable soups and is the ideal partner to

moderately mature cheeses.

SERVING TEMPERATURE:

18° C (64° F)
