The Barbera d'Alba Superiore Froi is wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate thanks to its distinctive fruit acidity.

Vinification of the Massimo Rivetti Barbera d'Alba Superiore Froi

The basis for the powerful Barbera d'Alba Superiore Froi from Piedmont are grapes from the Barbera grape variety. The berries for this red wine from Italy are harvested exclusively by hand when they are perfectly ripe. After the grape harvest, the grapes are transported to the winery as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. At the end of fermentation, the Barbera d'Alba Superiore Froi can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for 12 months. Ageing in the barrel is followed by a long period of bottle ageing, which makes this red wine even more complex.
