Vinchio Vaglio Barbera is a beautifully intense red wine with violet and red cherry characters on the nose. On the palate, the wine is round, fine, fruity, fresh and easy drinking with supple tannins.
The wine is aged in steel tanks for 3 months, with no oak aging, leaving the natural fruity and fresh flavours to delightfully overwhelm the palate.
About
Vineyards: A wine inspired by “Tane” which are small holes or caves dug into the hillside, which once provided farmers with shelter from the elements. Today however these used for a quick snack or “merenda sinoire”, an impromptu meal often requiring a glass of Barbera to accompany it! Growers cultivate the vineyards with respect for nature using sustainable techniques that ensure a perfect balance between tradition and new technologies. The soils of Vinchio Serra are generally loess, which are rich in sand with a small amount of clay; the grey/brown colour signifies the presence of calcium. This produces wines with great freshness, and an easy, fruity style. In Vaglio Serra, on the other hand, the soils have a more substantial quantity of clay, with a red/brown colour producing wines with greater structure and longevity.
Winemaking: Grapes are crushed and de-stemmed, and the must is sent to vertical stainless tanks. The alcoholic fermentation and maceration last around 5 days with automatic pumping overs carried out to extract the polyphenols from the skin. The fermentation occurs at a constant temperature of 25 °C. The malolactic fermentation takes place immediately after the alcoholic fermentation and the wine remains in stainless steel tanks for about 3 months prior to bottling, followed by 3 months of bottle ageing before release.
