Pio Cesare Barbera dAlba Fides 2007
Region
Piemonte, Italy
Grapes
100% Barbera
Viticulture
In 1991 we bought a new small estate in Serralunga d’Alba, close to our Ornato vineyard. This new estate has a perfect location, facing south and it could have been a great Barolo vineyard. Instead, we removed the Nebbiolo vines and replaced with Barbera, being convinced of the quality that we could obtain from such a great property.
The perfect exposure, the microclimate of the area, and the peculiar selection of the vines, allows us to produce grapes extremely rich and concentrated.
Wine Making
Temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with skin contact for about 10 days to extract the maximum of colour and fruit.
The ageing for twenty months in small barrels of French oak and in casks of 25 hectolitres is contributing to the sweetness and longevity of the tannins.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Wonderful, typical of the Barbera varietal.
Note: Ripe fruit, pulp and spice.
Palate: Surprisingly supple, round and soft, with good acidity. This wine has great ageing potential.
Alcohol
