The perfect balance of power, freshness, and Piedmontese nobility.
Monchiero's Barbera d'Alba Superiore represents the most complex and structured evolution of one of Piedmont's iconic grape varieties. Produced from selected grapes and carefully aged in wood, this "Superiore" version elevates the rustic character of Barbera to a dimension of extraordinary elegance and longevity.
The 2023 vintage expresses a decisive and enveloping personality:
-
Visual Profile: It presents a deep, almost impenetrable ruby red color, which turns towards garnet reflections with evolution.
-
Olfactory Experience: The nose is rich and layered. Intense notes of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberry and plum, blend harmoniously with hints of sweet spices, vanilla, and a slight toastiness resulting from barrel aging.
-
The Sip: On the palate, it is full, vigorous, and of great volume. The typical acidity of the grape is perfectly integrated into a soft tannic texture and a robust body, delivering a persistent and savory finish that invites another taste.
A wine of character, capable of defying time and authoritatively accompanying complex meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses.
