Franco Boasso Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC

A Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC from Franco Boasso. The grapes are harvested in mid-October, selected by hand and carried to the cellar in perforated crates. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 28 °C for about 15 days, with frequent daily pump-overs, followed by four months in oak barrels. No filtration is carried out, and the wine continues to refine in bottle. The result is a wine of luminous colour with a well-balanced structure, a delicate equilibrium and complexity wrapped in a smooth velvet texture, with aromas of cherry and plum. It is suited to immediate enjoyment but also has the potential to age beautifully for 8-10 years, improving in balance and aroma while keeping its characteristic freshness and roundness.
