Barbera d’Asti Superiore DOCG “Il Fiore”

0,00 €

RED WINE

Barbera d’Asti Superiore DOCG “Il Fiore” is a Piedmontese red wine with great character, expressing the essence of the Asti territory with elegance and authenticity. Made exclusively from 100% Barbera grapes, harvested between late September and early October, it is crafted using traditional winemaking methods that enhance both the varietal identity and the richness of the local terroir.

Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, with extended skin maceration to extract color, aromas, and structure. After malolactic fermentation and the removal of coarse lees, the wine is transferred to 30- and 45-hectoliter oak casks, where it matures for 8 to 12 months, developing complexity and balance. Following bottling, it undergoes an additional aging period of 2 to 3 months in the bottle before release, allowing its character to fully evolve.

In the glass, it displays a deep, bright ruby-red color. The bouquet reveals aromas of ripe red fruit, complemented by delicate spicy notes and elegant nuances derived from oak aging. On the palate, it is well-structured, balanced, and persistent, with the signature freshness of Barbera providing vibrancy and remarkable drinkability.

It pairs beautifully with red meat dishes such as roasts and traditional boiled meats, as well as game and aged hard cheeses. For the best tasting experience, serve at a temperature of 18–20°C (64–68°F) to fully appreciate its aromas and structure.
