Paitin Serra Barbera d'Alba 2024

A Barbera d'Alba DOC from Paitin, made from Barbera grown on the gentler slopes of Serraboella, a historic vineyard that made Neive famous for this grape. The wine is fermented in steel for 15 days, then matured for 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels. It has a singular freshness and delicacy, the result of soil less inclined to opulence and the mild morning sun that reaches this plot. It is a bright, intense ruby with purple hues. The nose is fine and expressive, with red fruit jam, rose and cinnamon. The palate is medium-bodied, built on a good acid and tannic structure, and the finish recalls fruit and liquorice.
