"Funtanì" Barbera d'Alba Superiore D.O.C.
Variety:
100% Barbera.
Production zone:
The oldest Barbera vines of the La Morra estate produce a singular grape. Perfect southwest exposure and a soil rich in micronutrients ensure exceptional maturation. Vines of more than 50 years in age give the lowest yield and most exciting and unique fruit.
Harvest:
Mid-October.
Yield per hectare:
60 hectoliters of grapes.
Vinification:
Short 15-day fermentation with maceration in stainless steel tanks for 4-5 days and frequent repassing of must over the lees. Malolactic fermentation takes place in wood until December.
Maturation:
About 15 months in French oak barrels, followed by at least six months of aging in the bottle. Released on the market about two years after harvest.
Sensory characteristics:
Deep, intense color. Fresh bouquet with hints of raspberry, black currant and blackberry. Hot and spicy. Complex, substantial and velvety flavor.
Serving temperature:
17 – 18 °C.
Average life of wine:
Age-worthy wine that will offer splendid expression even after 10 years.
Food matches:
Excellent with Piedmontese bollito misto, braised beef, gnocchi with ragu made from game.
