Ricossa Barbera Appassimento Red Wine

Barbera Appassimento was born in a torrid, drought-ridden summer that has put much of Piedmont’s wine production in trouble. One grape variety, above all, endures: it is the Barbera. Thus was born Barbera Appassimento Piemonte DOC: The harvested grapes are left to dry in a ventilated, temperature-controlled room for about 5-6 weeks, in which the gradual dehydration of the berries takes place. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel at 26-30°C for about 2 weeks.

Deep red color with violet hues that turn to garnet in the aging process. The bouquet expresses notes of berries, jam, violet, vanilla, figs and almonds. In the mouth it is elegant, harmonious and full-bodied, fresh in its youthful phase. It becomes rounder and more complex over the years, achieving a smooth finish.

• When young it goes well with red and grilled meats. Later with game, roasts, cheeses and rich soups.
