San Nicolao Barbera d'Asti DOCG - Vite Colte

This single-varietal Italian wine flatters the glass with wonderfully expressive notes of plums, morello cherries, black cherries and damsons. There are also hints of oriental spices, black tea and cinnamon.

This dry red wine from Vite Colte is for people who prefer 0.0 grams of residual sugar in their wine. The San Nicolao Barbera d'Asti comes very close to this, as it was vinified with just 1.5 grams of residual sugar. On the palate, this balanced red wine is characterized by an incredibly dense texture. Thanks to the balanced fruit acidity, the San Nicolao Barbera d'Asti flatters the palate with a velvety sensation without lacking in juicy liveliness. On the finish, this storable red wine from the Piedmont wine-growing region finally delights with good length. There are again hints of plum and damson.

Vinification of the Vite Colte San Nicolao Barbera d'Asti

The basis for the balanced San Nicolao Barbera d'Asti from Piedmont are grapes from the Barbera grape variety. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Once it has finished, the San Nicolao Barbera d'Asti can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for a few months.
