Palate
Our Barbera is not smoothed by any oak
aging and henceforth it is characterized by a bright acidity
and a pretty high level of alcohol, if compared to the other
Trediberri wines. This wine shows a full body and
highlights a fruity character, rather than elegance and
finesse.
Vinification
The grapes come from the Roero area
and from our vineyards surrounding the hamlet
Torriglione, next to the winery. Barbera is the only variety
to whom we systematically apply a green harvest, in order
to reduce the yields. Alcoholic fermentation happens in
concrete and/or stainless steel and lasts around 12-15
days. Then malolactic takes place in concrete and/or
stainless steel and cold stabilization happens outdoor or in
conditioned steel tanks. After stabilization, the wine ages
for some months in concrete, steel and plastic, before
being bottled, usually in April-May of the year after the
harvest.
