Vite Colte San Nicolao Barbera d’Asti

The Barbera grapes for this distinctive wine are sourced from vineyards in the heart of the Asti zone. Winemaking is traditional, with a 10-day maceration on the skins and fermentation at 25-28°C, followed immediately by malolactic fermentation. This is a full-bodied Barbera, showing great smoothness and balance, the result of a brief period of bottle aging.

The colour is deep ruby red. In the nose, this Barbera d’Asti is very rich, lush and inviting, with a scent of plums and cherries, finely spiced. In the mouth, this wine is medium to full bodied, surprisingly soft for Barbera, long and delicious. The wine is irresistible now, but can also be kept for a few years.

This Barbera is delicious in combination with red meat, pasta dishes and hard cheeses.
