Barbera d'Alba Superiore Oddero 2021

Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC, from the Oddero winery, was born on the hills of the Piedmontese Langhe and is characterized by a solid and deep bond with its territory. It is a complex, elegant red with an extraordinary personality: the company's philosophy is based on maximum respect for the environment and nature, a factor which contributes enormously to the genuineness of the product. In addition, the cellar is located in an area characterized by a mild climate and calcareous soils, elements that favor the correct ripening of the grapes. For Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC, manual harvesting in boxes is used, fermentation with native yeasts and an 18-month aging process in wooden barrels. Precisely, the latter takes place in French oak barriques, which determine an adequate micro-oxygenation of the red and make the wine even more interesting. It has a rich aroma of ripe fruit and a pleasantly acidic and fresh taste that gives it a strong personality. A curiosity: in Piedmont Barbera is declined in the feminine, both when speaking of the grape variety and when referring to wine.
