Barbera Monferrato Lively Cichina DOC
Tasting notes
Barbera, a young, cheerful and lively wine with a brilliant ruby red, clear and consistent color. The bouquet is intense, fragrant, fruity and persistent with hints of berries; the taste is sweet, warm, harmonious, soft and fresh.
It goes well mainly with rich foods and in particular the “Bagna Cauda” with the “Cardo Gobbo di Nizza Monferrato”.
Vinification
Method: fermentation in cement barrels for 12 days. In the final part of the process the wine is filtered to stop the fermentation. Only a few grams of sugar are left which are required subsequently for the foam, so as to make it lively.
