The wine region of Barbera del Monferrato
Piedmont DOC (1970) on the historic hills of Monferrato (Asti, Alessandria). Barbera as the king variety (the most planted in Piedmont, more accessible than Nebbiolo): deep and juicy reds with signature notes of black cherry, plum, blackberry, anise, violet, dried herbs and a liquorice touch, bright fresh acidity and a moreish palate — Piedmontese conviviality in a bottle. Ink-coloured robe. Sparkling frizzante version.
The wine region of Piedmont
Kingdom of Nebbiolo: Barolo and Barbaresco DOCG, long-ageing reds with firm tannins and lively acidity, complex aromas of withered rose, sour cherry, tar, truffle and undergrowth. More accessible, tangy Barbera on red fruit, supple, crisp Dolcetto. Sweet, floral sparkling Moscato d'Asti, mineral, lemony Gavi (Cortese) white, round, almondy Arneis from Roero. 50,000 ha across the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, UNESCO.
The word of the wine: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
