Produced in the heart of Monferrato, this label focuses entirely on the fragrance of the fruit and drinkability, offering a glass that expresses the territory with frankness and stylistic clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVite Colte - \"San Nicolao\" Barbera d'Asti DOCG 2017\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"3\"\u003eSan Nicolao 2017\u003c\/b\u003e is a Barbera d'Asti that prioritizes the crispness of the grape over the structure of wood aging. The 2017 vintage, characterized by a hot and dry summer, allowed for generous sugar ripeness in the grapes, which in this wine translates into a full and enveloping sip. Despite the sunny climatic conditions, Vite Colte's expert vineyard management preserved the acidic backbone that is Barbera's trademark, ensuring freshness and a lively drinkability. It is the everyday red par excellence, capable of adapting to multiple occasions thanks to its convivial soul and innate varietal elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSensory Profile\u003c\/b\u003e It appears in the glass as a brilliant ruby red with vibrant purplish reflections. The bouquet is a hymn to red fruit: clear notes of sour cherry, raspberry, and fresh plum stand out, accompanied by delicate floral nuances of violet and a slight black pepper spice on the finish. On the palate, the entry is soft, juicy, and characterized by a vibrant freshness that immediately invites a second sip. The tannins are barely hinted at and very smooth, making the gustatory progression fluid and pleasant. The finish is clean, with a persistent and harmonious fruity return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVinification and Aging\u003c\/b\u003e The grapes are harvested at perfect ripeness and vinified in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Maceration on the skins lasts about 8-10 days, the time needed to extract color and primary aromas without weighing down the tannic structure. To preserve the integrity of the fruit and the citrus freshness of the grape, the San Nicolao ages exclusively in \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"405\"\u003estainless steel\u003c\/b\u003e for a few months before bottling. This technical choice enhances the purity of the grape, offering a ready-to-drink, balanced, and greatly enjoyable wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/b\u003e An extremely eclectic wine at the table. It is the ideal pairing for traditional Piedmontese first courses, such as tajarin with ragù or meat ravioli. It pairs magnificently with platters of cured meats, medium-aged cheeses, and dishes based on white or red meats cooked simply (grilled, roasted). Thanks to its acidity, it is also perfect for accompanying international dishes, such as pizza or tomato-based dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Vite Colte\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"23\"\u003eWine:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbera d'Asti DOCG\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"49\"\u003eName:\u003c\/b\u003e San Nicolao\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"67\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 2017\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"80\"\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/b\u003e 100% Barbera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"102\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Piedmont (Asti)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"127\"\u003eAging:\u003c\/b\u003e Stainless steel only\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"153\"\u003eAlcohol Content:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.5% \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINART ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55628101517687,"sku":"VTC004\/17","price":6.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/0734\/7063\/files\/Vite-Colte-San-Nicolao-2017-a.jpg?v=1756221183","url":"https:\/\/vinart.it\/en\/products\/vite-colte-barbera-dasti-san-nicolao-docg-2017","provider":"VINART ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
