This red wine, the Giuseppe Mascarello Barbera d'Alba Vigna Santo Stefano di Perno, is a gem of the DOC Barbera d'Alba, crafted by the renowned Giuseppe Mascarello winery. Originating from Perno in Monforte d'Alba, this wine is made from Barbera grapes grown in soils consisting of clay and sand, giving the wine its unique character. The grapes are harvested at the end of September, followed by careful selection. Vinification includes a traditional fermentation lasting 12 to 14 days, with the skins submerged, adding complexity to the final product. After fermentation, the wine matures in medium-sized oak barrels for months, enhancing its organoleptic characteristics. With an intense ruby red color and purple hues, this wine presents a complex aromatic bouquet of ripe fruits and spices, accompanied by mineral notes and a balanced structure, resulting in a fresh and enjoyable tasting experience. Ideal for pairing with red meats and pasta dishes made with rich sauces.
