{"product_id":"prunotto-nizza-bansella-2023","title":"Prunotto Nizza Bansella 2023","description":"\u003cb\u003eBarbera Bansella Nizza\u003c\/b\u003e is a \u003cb\u003eDOCG\u003c\/b\u003e wine produced in the cellars of the renowned \u003cb\u003ePrunotto\u003c\/b\u003e winery, which was acquired by the \u003cb\u003eAntinori\u003c\/b\u003e family in 1989. The \u003cb\u003egrape variety\u003c\/b\u003e used for this wine is the \u003cb\u003eBarbera\u003c\/b\u003e, commonly referred to in the feminine form (la barbera), native to \u003cb\u003ePiedmont\u003c\/b\u003e and vinified as a single varietal. Its cultivation area is \u003cb\u003eAlba\u003c\/b\u003e, in the province of Cuneo, where the soil, rich in limestone and sand, gives the wine its organoleptic characteristics. The medium-sized grapes, with an intense blue color, are characterized by a high level of acidity. It has good resistance to various climatic conditions, unaffected by wind and drought, but is very sensitive to intense cold and frost. The \u003cb\u003eharvest\u003c\/b\u003e is carried out in the last weeks of September, through manual harvesting. Once the grapes arrive at the cellar, they undergo \u003cb\u003edestemming\u003c\/b\u003e, a phase aimed at separating the berries from the stalks, and \u003cb\u003epressing\u003c\/b\u003e. The \u003cb\u003emaceration\u003c\/b\u003e lasts 7 days and takes place at a controlled temperature, which cannot exceed 28°C. After the wine has been extracted from the must, it has completed both its alcoholic and malolactic fermentation processes, which occurs before the onset of winter. The \u003cb\u003eaging\u003c\/b\u003e, which lasts 9 months, takes place using small \u003cb\u003ewooden barrels\u003c\/b\u003e of \u003cb\u003efirst\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003esecond passage\u003c\/b\u003e which will have the task of imparting aromas and essences to the wine. The new, first-passage barrels release fresh aromas, while the second-passage, i.e., those already used, release more delicate aromas and essences. The result of this complex process will give a semi-aromatic wine of excellent quality.","brand":"Prunotto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46460326936747,"sku":"61218","price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/prunotto-nizza-bansella-2023_61218_1_8b29ba5f-4215-4f75-9f1e-b91552357e5f.webp?v=1777047766","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-uk\/products\/prunotto-nizza-bansella-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
