Barbera d’Asti “Piano Alto”

Region: Piedmont , Asti, PianoAlto estate, in Crena.

Grapes:  100% Barbera
Alchool content : 13.5% vol.

Aging :  The wine is aged in 1500 litre Piedmontese barrels, custom-coopered using new wood. The wine is bottled directly from the barrels, without filtration.

Taste:  Intense colour and complex aromas in a wine with great body, typical of NIZZA Barberas. The oak is not overpowering and the wine has excellent ageing potential.

Notes: The PianoAlto estate surrounds its old farmhouse on the Crena ridge, with a lovely view of the village of Agliano d’Asti. The oldest vineyard produces the grapes used for PianoAlto, a Barbera d’Asti Superiore that bears the designation NIZZA, the best-suited sub-zone for the production of this fine red wine. The use of Piedmontese double-sized barrels for ageing brings out the best of its typical characteristics.
