Area: Piemonte/ Piedmont

Grapes: Montebruna is a Barbera d’Asti DOCG that comes from 100% Barbera grapes owned in Rocchetta Tanaro.

In the cellar: The must spends two weeks in temperature-controlled steel tanks, where it ferments, and is then transferred to large oak barrels to age for a year.

Tasting: Purplish ruby red colour. Very evident scents of ripe cherry and red berries. The flavour is deep, full and harmonious, with a persistent finish that lingers on the palate, ending with a hint of almond. Excellent, balanced, fragrant and very easy to drink, it accompanies pasta dishes, red and white meats, cheeses and cured meats.
