Rocheviberti 2020 Barbera d’Alba Superiore ‘Vigna Lunga’
Tasting Note
Made using grapes grown in Claudio’s ‘Vigna Lunga’ vineyard on the lower terraces of the same slope as the Dolcetto. At around a 250m elevation, the vines here are again around 20 years old on average. Fermented in temperature controlled steel tanks and aged for 12 months in a mix of large French oak barrels and much smaller oak barriques. This has resulted in a sumptuous Barbera that has a fabulously alluring, fragrant bouquet, with a darker fruit profile of black berry and black cherry fruits, seamlessly balanced and with a fresh vibrant finish. Awesome with salami, aged cheeses and grilled meats!
