Barberad’AlbaDOC–Monbirone–MonchieroCarbone

<p>From the Mombirone cru, one of the hills surrounding the town of Canale. The family winemaking tradition was born, since in the distant 1918 the great-grandmother Tilde bought the first small plot, already then vines in Barbera, where the excellent results of the vine on the clayey-limestone soils of this hill had long been recognized. It is here that, after more than a century, our best Barbera grapes are born from which we obtain Barbera d’Alba MonBirone, a powerful wine, of great elegance and structure, thanks also to the age of the vines which have now reached 40 years . </p><p>The grape harvest normally takes place in the first and second ten days of October, after the pressing begins the alcoholic fermentation, performed in the traditional way and with a duration of 15/20 days. After racking, the wine is placed in 228-liter wooden barrels where the malolactic fermentation and refinement will take place, which can last between 15 and 20 months. After bottling, the wine rests for about 6 months in the underground cellars and then is put on the market about two years after the harvest.</p><p>An intense ruby red glass with purple hues. Intense aromas of undergrowth, cocoa, spices and red fruits and plums are a sensational triumph for the nose. On the palate, the entrance immediately shows great power and a complex structure. The finish is long and fresh and offers good harmony between fruity and woody sensations.</p><p> Its important alcohol content and good acidity make it suitable for pairing with meats prepared with long cooking and medium-aged cheeses; a superb red that will give quality and sensory journeys to your palates. </p><p><p>MATCH IT WITH: </p><h3>Technical information</h3><p>PRODUCER Monchiero CarbonVINTAGE 2019COUNTRY ItalyFORMAT0.75LTYPE Still RedGRADATION 14,5%VARIETY Barbera 100%TEMP MIN 16 °CNAME DOCTEMP MAX 18 °CREGION PiedmontPAIRING Meat – Cheese PRODUCTION AREA Roero</p><p><p>How to serve</p><p>Glass:</p><p>Wide opening goblet</p><p>Find out more</p><p>Serve to:</p><p>16-18°C</p><p><p>When to drink it:</p><p>This wine is good right away but you can age it for 2-5 years</p><p>Production area</p><p><p>Piedmont</p><p><h3>The Winery: Monchiero Carbone</h3><p>More information</p>
