Located in the hills
of Castagnole Monferrato and Montemagno ("big hill") in the province
of Asti, the La Mondianese farm covers 6 acres and the cellar has been updated
with state of the art modern encology. From a vineyard that has been in production for over thirty years, comes this Barbera D’Asti Superiore. These old vines produce only a small amount of grapes, healthy, intense and rich in sugar. Following fermentation in stainless steel, the wine is carefully aged in French oak barrels for 15 months. The result is a wine that is the best example of what a fine Barbera can be. Tasting Notes: A gorgeous bouquet, suggestive of currants, dark cherries and chocolate; in the mouth it is rich, full and velvety with a hint of dark berries and spicy overtones. Perfect accompaniment to a rich pasta, roast lamb or beef. |
