Product Name:<\/strong> Barbera d’Alba Superiore DOC Method:<\/strong>\u00a0steel and aging in wood Empty bottle weight:<\/strong> 450 g of Grape \/ C\u00e9page:<\/strong>\u00a0100% barbera Dry extract:<\/strong>\u00a031 g\/l Maria imagines her Barbera d’Alba Superiore<\/strong> as an elegant lady<\/strong>, carrying a wealth of experience.<\/p>\n It is in fact a mature<\/strong> Barbera, soft and enveloping, with hints of jam. M<\/strong>ature <\/b>because it is not a vintage wine, but it expresses its best as the years go by and remains stable<\/strong>, fresh<\/strong> and fragrant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This characteristic is due to the location of the vineyard<\/strong>, beyond the Rocche, about 400 meters above sea level. Here the soil, in addition to being gravelly and sandy, is rich in marls<\/strong> that give structure<\/strong> and body to the wine.<\/p>\n It is a wine particularly beloved by Francesco<\/strong>, to the point of taking his name, Chichin<\/strong>, which in Piedmontese dialect is its diminutive.<\/p>\n According to him, Barbera is a noble wine<\/strong>, and has nothing to envy Nebbiolo.<\/p>\n True, it was once considered the wine of the peasant, a bit rough and generally consumed at home, rather than sold. Today this is no longer the case we invite you to try it to believe.<\/p>\n It is ruby red<\/strong> with orange hues.<\/p>\n You find it complex<\/strong>, fruity<\/strong>, with hints of plum and cherry jam, but also spicy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It is structured, enveloping and soft, but retains the typical freshness<\/strong> of the grape variety.<\/p>\n Maria recommends it with a nice grill of fine roasted meats<\/strong>, but strictly medium rare<\/strong>. A few examples? A Fiorentina<\/strong> or an Angus<\/strong> steak.<\/p>\n Eventually, you can sip this Barbera out of a meal<\/strong>, as a meditation wine.<\/p>\n …Need to get wrapped up<\/strong>: couch, blanket and a sip of Barbera Cichin<\/strong> are the solution to every problem!<\/p>\n Signora Lia – Baglioni<\/em><\/p>\n https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/101V8GAinO66icjW0HTXZc?si=5678dc7bed194cbd<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":51302,"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":[],"pa_denomination":[73],"pa_vine":[24],"pa_producer":[2436],"class_list":{"0":"post-45348","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-barbera-en","7":"product_shipping_class-francesco-rosso","8":"pa_denomination-doc-barbera-alba","9":"pa_product-type-dry","10":"pa_product-type-still","11":"pa_vine-barbera","12":"pa_producer-francesco-rosso-en","14":"first","15":"instock","16":"taxable","17":"shipping-taxable","18":"purchasable","19":"product-type-simple"},"bundled_by":[],"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
