The Barbera D'Asti DOCG - La Vigna Vecchia by Cossetti Clemente is a prized example that reflects the essence of Barbera, one of the noblest grape varieties of Piedmont. This wine is produced by one of the oldest and most respected wineries in the region, Cossetti Clemente, which boasts a century-long experience in winemaking.

This wine comes specifically from the vineyard "La Vigna Vecchia," known for its fertile soil and unique climatic characteristics that emphasize the typicality of the Barbera grape. Here, the age of the vines contributes to giving the wine complexity and structure.

Visually, the Barbera D'Asti DOCG - La Vigna Vecchia displays an intense ruby red color, with violet hues that tend to soften as the wine ages. On the nose, it exudes intense aromas of ripe red fruits, such as black cherries and plums, with spicy notes of black pepper and a slight hint of vanilla, due to aging in wood.

On the palate, the wine reveals itself to be fully balanced, with a lively acidity typical of Barbera harmonizing seamlessly with soft yet present tannins. The body is robust but not overwhelming, with a persistent finish that leaves a pleasantly bitter aftertaste, characteristic of this variety.

This Barbera D'Asti DOCG is ideal for accompanying rich and flavorful dishes, such as meat stews, aged cheeses, and mushroom-based dishes. It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 16-18°C to bring out all its organoleptic properties.

This wine not only represents an excellent choice for connoisseurs but is also a great introduction for those wishing to explore high-quality Piedmontese red wines.
