Vinification of the Cordero di Montezemolo Barbera d'Alba

This balanced red wine from Italy is made from the Barbera grape variety. Barbera d'Alba is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Italian wine exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. The fact that Barbera grapes thrive in a rather cool climate also has a major influence on the ripening of the grapes. Among other things, this results in particularly long and even grapes and a rather moderate alcohol content in the wine. After the grape harvest, the grapes are transported to the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in small wooden vats at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by 8 months of ageing in oak barrels.

Recommendation for Cordero di Montezemolo Barbera d'Alba

Ideally, enjoy this red wine from Italy at 15 - 18°C as an accompaniment to Thai cucumber salad, veal and onion casserole or lemon-chilli chicken with bulgur.
