Description

Cascina Fontana Barbera d'Alba 2020

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Barbera from the Barbera d'Alba DOC of Piedmont, Italy.

Taste Profile: A juicy red wine with effusive aromas of red and black fruit, combined with hints of aromatic plants. On the palate it’s smooth, fresh and nervo. A wine with a marked acidity and a solid astringency which make it ideal for fatty foods

Winemaking Process: Created from tradition, it follows a markedly classic style, vinified in cement tanks, followed by ageing in old Slavonian wood foudres for a year. It rests in the bottle for another year before being released to the market.

Elegant & Structured Reds

From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.

These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
