Barbera d'Alba D.O.C. 2018 - VALENTINO

Red wine obtained from 100% Barbera grapes , grown on the hills of Santa Vittoria d'Alba , in Piedmont, where Daniele Dabbene's company passionately produces this excellence. The vineyards, located at about 300 meters above sea level, grow on marly and sandstone soils, rich in mineral salts and with a good presence of limestone, clay and sand, ideal for enhancing the characteristics of this vine, typical of Barbera d'Alba.

The harvest is done manually in mid-October to preserve the integrity of the grapes. Fermentation is carried out in the traditional way with indigenous yeasts for a period of 10-30 days, followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine, like the Barbera d'Alba DOC 2018 by Valentino, ages for 20 months in new French oak barriques, which give it unique complexity and depth.

Subsequently, the refinement continues for 12 months in the bottle at a controlled temperature before being released for sale, guaranteeing a red wine with great structure, elegance and aging potential. A work that brings with it the experience and dedication of Daniele Dabbene, perfect for enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
