PAIRING Meat - Cheese

From the Mombirone cru, one of the hills surrounding the town of Canale. the family wine tradition was born, since in 1918 the great-grandmother Clotilde bought the first small plot, already then planted with Barbera vines, where the excellent results of the vine on the clay-limestone soils of this hill had long been recognized. 

It is here that, after more than a century, the best Barbera grapes are born, with which the family wanted to give life to an exceptional Grand Cru worthy of celebrating a special anniversary: the 100th harvest of Barbera d'Alba MonBirone. Numbered bottles, for a total production of this vintage equal to 10577.

The grapes are harvested normally in the first week of October, after pressing the alcoholic fermentation begins, carried out in the traditional way and lasting 15/20 days. After racking, the wine is placed in 225-litre wooden barrels where malolactic fermentation and refinement will take place, which can last between 15 and 20 months. After being bottled, the wine rests for about 6 months in the underground cellars before being put on the market.

A deep wine with an intense ruby red color, with violet hues. On the nose it offers a rich and broad aroma, ranging from intense aromas of undergrowth, cocoa and spices, to sweet fruity notes of red fruits and plum, offering a sensational riot on the nose. The entry on the palate immediately shows great power and a complex structure; it is the alcohol that ensures an initial softness, which is then balanced by the acidity, thus giving the fruity pulp lightness. The finish is long and persistent, and offers a pleasant sense of freshness and good harmony between fruity and woody sensations.

Its important alcohol content and good acidity make it suitable for long-cooked meats and medium-aged cheeses; a superb red that will give quality and sensory journeys to your palates.
