Ghiga 6 Bottles of Ventiquattro Lune Barbera d'Asti DOCG Superiore — Vintage 2019 —
€ 134.40 incl. IVA
Ventiquattro Lune (twenty-four moons) comes from a further evolution of Barbera d’Asti DOCG Dodici Lune.
After spending 12 months in barrels and barriques, it continues its aging in 700-liter French oak tonneaux for another 12 months.
Sight
It is a very deep garnet red with ruby highlights.
Nose
Scents of licorice and jam are immediately noticeable.
Taste
It is a red with great structure. A word of advice? Given its long aging and high alcohol content (14.5% vol.), uncork it an hour before serving and pour it into a decanter. This way it will oxygenate at its best, releasing all its bouquet.
Pairing tips
Accompany it with meat dishes. Due to its great delicacy and softness, it is also suitable for enjoying with pasta dishes and risottos.

Vinification (Wine-making)
Method: the harvest is done manually in boxes and after a subsequent phase of crushing-destemming, the starting base is obtained: the must. After storage in vertical steel winemakers (Fermentini) alcoholic fermentation begins with the addition of selected yeasts. During this phase, pump-over (an operation that consists of wetting the floating skins on the fermenting must with the same must taken from the bottom of the tank by means of a special pump) and delestage (decanting a part of the fermenting must and putting it back into the tank from the top, wetting the floating skins) are very important. When fermentation is complete, separation of the skins, which will be destined for the distillery, takes place, while the must begins malolactic fermentation at 20°C. At the end of this fermentation, the second racking takes place. The wine remains in steel tanks until March ready to be put into barrels for aging. After 12 months of aging in various sizes of barrels and barriques it continues its evolution in 700-liter Tonneaux for another 12 months.
