La Miraja Le Masche Barbera d'Asti Superiore DOCG 2021 750ml

Organic. 100% Barbera. Estate fruit from the Majole vineyard situated at 250 meters above sea level. Calcareous-red clay soils. 5,000 vines per hectare trained in the guyot style. Only 70 quintals per hectare harvested. Like all wines from La Miraja, this stainless-steel and concrete-aged version features unadulterated red fruits with a fresh but velvet finish. Hand-harvested fruit is destemmed and then crushed by basket press into stainless-steel tanks, where it remains in contact with the skins for 10 days while native fermentation occurs. Following spontaneous malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for a minimum of 12 months in neutral oak prior to bottling and release.
