Taste and character

The Barbera d’Alba Superiore Peiragal DOC from Marchesi di Barolo comes from an exceptionally situated vineyard on one of the most suitable hills within the municipality of Barolo. The soil, rich in compact limestone and clay formations with large stones, limits the vigour of the vine and results in low yields and highly concentrated grapes, which gives this wine its pronounced depth and character. In the glass the wine shows an intense purplish-red colour with violet reflections. The nose is complex and layered, with fragrant aromas of berries and sour cherries, beautifully interwoven with enveloping notes of vanilla and light pepper. On the palate it is full and elegant, with firm yet ripe, velvety tannins and a long, lingering finish that is typical of this cuvée. After a manual harvest, the grapes are carefully destemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation lasts 10 to 12 days at a controlled temperature, with regular pumping over to optimally extract colour, aroma and polyphenols. After the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is racked at the right moment to preserve balance and finesse. After malolactic fermentation, 60% of the wine matures for a year in French oak barriques, while the remaining 40% is aged in large Slavonian oak casks of 30 hl. After blending, the wine rests for a further six months in a glass-lined concrete tank to arrive at a harmonious structure. Serve preferably at 16–18 °C, with richer meat dishes, game, stews or mature cheeses. This is a Barbera for the lover of powerful yet elegant wines, with clear ageing potential and a fine evolution over several years.
