Paolo Monti Barbera d`Alba 2014
Tasting Note:
Heady, perfumed Barbera with great depth and complexity and a fleshy indulgent palate. Incredibly intense Barbera character, inky and dense, powerful through the palate and afterwards, yet subtle and with a suppleness rarely associated with this variety.

Winemaking
Fermention takes place in horizontal, rotary fermenters with full maceration of skins for four days at 30 degrees celcius. The wine is aged 15 months in French Alliers oak barriques where malolactic fermentation takes place. The wine is then rested in stainless steel for 2 months prior to bottling.
