Barbera d’Asti Superiore

After destemming and pressing, the marc obtained is left to macerate for a week in contact with the musts at a temperature between 25 ° and 28 ° C in large stainless steel tanks. Frequent pumping over allows excellent color extraction and good body. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is placed partly in French oak barrels and partly in 15-20 hectolitre barrels for about 12 months, followed by at least 4 months of bottle aging.
