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: Tartar (deposit)
White, chalky deposits that occur as a result of precipitation inside bottles and are often considered by consumers as a defect. They are in fact tartaric salts formed by tartaric acid, potassium and calcium naturally present in the wine. This deposit does not alter the quality of the wine and can be eliminated by a simple decanting.
