As an expression of the prestigious \u003cstrong\u003eBarbaresco\u003c\/strong\u003e denomination, it appears in the glass with a bright garnet colour and a complex bouquet of plum, blackberry, vanilla and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied sip with pronounced savouriness, wrapped in a \u003cstrong\u003etannic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e that is defined yet rendered silky by ageing. Its austerity and aromatic richness make it the ideal accompaniment for braised red meats, game and mature cheeses, also offering interesting pairings with dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe origin of this wine lies in the renowned \u003cstrong\u003eCru Pora\u003c\/strong\u003e, located in the municipality of Barbaresco. The vineyards benefit from a \u003cstrong\u003esouth-west exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e, a privileged geographical condition that ensures the grapes ripen regularly and optimally. The roots delve into a distinctive soil, characterised by \u003cstrong\u003ebluish calcareous-sandy marl\u003c\/strong\u003e, a decisive element in giving the wine's structure a natural tension, high longevity and a pronounced savoury note that faithfully reflects its territory of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter careful selection, the bunches are destemmed and sent for fermentation. This takes place in contact with the skins in \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring optimal extraction of colour and phenolic matter. The maturation process continues for twenty-four months in \u003cstrong\u003ethird-passage barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, concluding with an adequate period of rest in the bottle. The \u003cstrong\u003eabsence of filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e before bottling is a choice aimed at preserving the integrity of the flavour profile and the varietal purity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from a bet by Ca’ del Baio in 2004, the \u003cstrong\u003eBarbaresco Pora 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e expresses the soul of a historic and long-lived cru.
