Product name:<\/strong> Barbera d’Alba DOC Method:<\/strong> traditional vinification; the must is left to ferment in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for about 9\u201310 days in contact with the skins. Empty bottle weight:<\/strong> 450 g % Grape variety:<\/strong> 100% Barbera Dry extract:<\/strong> 27.9 g\/l To produce this Barbera<\/strong>, the Borgogno family uses grapes from a vineyard planted in the 1960s<\/strong>, which is located in Monforte d’Alba<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Since these are old vines<\/strong>, production is rather limited, but the fruit<\/strong> is of great quality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The resulting wine is distinguished by its finesse<\/strong>, although it retains a semblance of roughness<\/strong>. You will like it because it is “gritty”, with a robust<\/strong> structure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A classic<\/strong> of our lands, linked to the history<\/strong> and culture<\/strong> of Piedmont.<\/p>\n It is bright red<\/strong> with violet hues<\/strong> when the wine is young; deep ruby red after aging.<\/p>\n The fragrance is intense<\/strong> and fruity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n On tasting you will find it bitterish<\/strong>, but full-bodied<\/strong>, dry and fresh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It is perfect for grilling<\/strong>! It is the red that the Borgogno family believes goes best with barbeque<\/strong>: structured, but at the same time balanced, its acidity<\/strong> gives balance to the fat<\/strong> of the meat.<\/p>\n Also try it with game<\/strong> and aged cheeses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Serving temperature<\/strong>: 18 – 19 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n …You love structured wines<\/strong> that nevertheless retain a fruity note<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Sultans of Swing \u2013 Dire Straits<\/em><\/p>\n https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/37Tmv4NnfQeb0ZgUC4fOJj?si=d3346d16ac8943f0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":53602,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[366],"product_tag":[2845],"pa_denomination":[73],"pa_vine":[24],"pa_producer":[2616],"class_list":{"0":"post-2103","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-barbera-en","7":"product_tag-bbq-en","8":"product_shipping_class-francesco-borgogno","9":"pa_denomination-doc-barbera-alba","10":"pa_product-type-dry","11":"pa_product-type-still","12":"pa_vine-barbera","13":"pa_producer-francesco-borgogno-en","15":"first","16":"instock","17":"taxable","18":"shipping-taxable","19":"purchasable","20":"product-type-simple"},"bundled_by":["50473","5485","6254"],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"yoast_head":"\n
