Scarpetta Barbera del Monferrato 2023 750ml

We collaborated with Fabrizio Iulli in Monferrato Piemonte to create this Barbera. Monferrato is the birthplace for Barbera. While it is made in other spots in Piemonte, it is here where Barbera shows the balance of fruit and acidity. VINIFICATION The grapes are fermented in stainless steel and aged in neutral oak and cement vats. Resulting in a wine that shows fruit and earth without being marked by wood. AGING Twelve months in neutral oak and cement vats. APPEARANCE Bright plum red. AROMATICS Aromas of crushed berries and plums intermix with aromas of earth and porcini mushrooms. PALATE On the palate, the wine is medium bodied with bright acidity and low tannins, yet wonderfully balanced.
