Vinification of Cascina Gilli Dédica Barbera D’Asti Superiore

This wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Barbera. Only the best grape material was used for this exceptionally powerful varietal wine from Cascina Gilli. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Piedmont. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into clay soils. After the grape harvest, the grapes quickly make their way to the winery. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks and small wooden casks at controlled temperatures follows. Vinification is followed by 9 months of maturation in oak barriques.
