Langhe Barbera Superiore "Bompè" DOC BORGOGNO

From the vinification in purity of 100% pure Barbera grapes. This label from the Borgogno del Piemonte winery contains all the essence of the local peasant tradition. The origin of the grapes is in the Langhe, in Alba, in full DOC. The harvest takes place from 15 to 30 September. The vinification process, started immediately after the harvest, involves fermentation for about 12 days at a low temperature of 24 - 28ºC, during which a light pressing and aging of 70% in steel tanks for 10 months is requested, the remaining 30% in large Slavonian oak barrels for 10 months, at a natural temperature of 18 ºC. Finally the two parts are assembled and aged for about 3 months in the bottle. This classic procedure allows the maintenance of acid freshness and fruit fragrance.
