Barbera del Monferrato Superiore DOC Cantico della Crosia 2017 Vicara

Barbera del Monferrato Cantico della Crosia originates from vineyards located in Monferrato, in the province of Alessandria, an area that is becoming increasingly popular on the national wine scene.

The Vicara winery works all its land according to a biodynamic agriculture system. The vinification of this Barbera Superiore involves a very long maceration. Ageing takes place in French oak barrels, both new and third or fourth passage. A further rest in the bottle completes the maturation phase, which thus has a total duration of 40 months.

The color is deep garnet red. The bouquet that shows on the nose is complex and turns on slightly fruity and floral notes, clear spicy impressions and toasted memories of leather, carob and licorice. In liquorice a great balance reigns between the characteristic varietal freshness and the enveloping softness.

To be combined with red and roasted meats, both in first and second courses. Recommended with a beef stew.
