PRODUTTORI DEL BARBARESCO NEBBIOLO 2018

TASTING NOTE
An intensely flavoured wine with tastes of cherry and oak and undertones of softer red fruits and spices; simply beautiful. A wine steeped with history and made through the work of an collective group of Italian wine makers dating back to the 18th Century.

WINEMAKING
Not many wines are produced like this. The grapes are produced by a cooperative which has 54 members and a total acreage of 242 within the Barbaresco commune. The managing director, Aldo Vacca, pays the members of
the cooperative for the quality of their grapes, not quantity, ensuring high quality vintages.
Fermented in concrete tanks at 28°C and left to macerate on the skins for 24 days. Ageing of the wine takes place for 6 months in large neutral oak barrels prior to bottling.
 
FOOD RECOMMENDATION
Pairs well Steak, sausages, ham, salami, game, pizzas and pasta with simple sauces. A winner with rich antipasti and Tapas.
