Descrizione

Barbera Carabas from Luretta shows a lively ruby color and a straightforward nose centered on ripe red fruit: cherry, plum and raspberry, with subtle spicy hints and a touch of wildflowers. On the nose it is direct but not banal, offering freshness and immediacy without excess. The aromatic profile stays true to the variety, clean and recognizable.

On the palate it displays bright acidity that supports the sip and makes it smooth, with soft tannins and pleasant flavor persistence; the fruit returns in balance, accompanied by a light spicy note on the finish. It suits everyday drinking and informal meals: pairs well with tomato pasta, pizza, cured meats and medium-aged cheeses, as well as simple grilled meats. Serve slightly cool to highlight its freshness and drinkability. Also a good choice for those beginning to explore red wines.

Winery history

The story of Luretta began with the Salamini family's investment in the hills of Val Luretta: land restored and vineyards planted from the late 1980s, leading to the transformation of the business into an established wine estate and the subsequent opening of the winery and tasting rooms at Castello di Momeliano. Over the years, the owners and technical management have focused on raising quality and on enhancing labels such as Gutturnio and Metodo Classico sparkling wines.

Production philosophy

Luretta works with an approach aimed at expressing the terroir: organic viticulture, selecting the grape variety best suited to each vineyard, carefully timed harvesting and targeted winemaking. It oversees aging in wood when necessary and produces traditional method sparkling wines as well as still wines, prioritizing typicity and quality.
