Description
Type of wine
Bruno Giacosa Barbera d'Alba is a still red wine produced by Bruno Giacosa. It is made from Barbera grapes grown in Piedmont and boasts the Barbera d'Alba Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) status. This red is appreciated for its structured and complex character, capable of combining strength and elegance. It offers a sensory experience where pleasant notes of violet and wild strawberry emerge. Its personality is defined by precise processing that includes fermentation in steel and a period of maturation in wood.
Where it comes from
The wine comes from Piedmont, a land with a great winemaking vocation, famous for its ability to produce reds of great charm.
How it is produced
The fermentation and maceration of the grapes take place for approximately 20 days inside stainless steel tanks. During this phase, malolactic fermentation is also completed. Subsequently, the wine is transferred to French oak casks, where it rests and refines for a period of between 12 and 14 months. This careful process allows the wine to achieve its smoothness and complexity, presenting itself as full, velvety and harmonious on the palate.
