Barbera d'Asti Superiore CÀ DI PIAN DOCG BIO LA SPINETTA

A Barbera with an unmistakable trait, pleasantly fruity and extremely versatile. It is made from pure Barbera grapes from the vineyards of Castagnole delle Lanze, Costigliole d'Asti and Montegrosso d'Asti: the vineyards face south, at an altitude of 300 m above sea level and on calcareous soils. Maceration and alcoholic fermentation take place in temperature-controlled steel tanks for approximately 15 days. This is followed by malolactic fermentation in French oak with 12 months of aging. A further 6-month aging in the bottle is planned.
