'Ruvei' Barbera d'Alba DOC Marchesi di Barolo 2020

Ruvei Barbera D'alba DOC is a red wine with an important structure made by the Marchesi di Barolo winery in the Langhe. The label is mainly obtained from Barbera grapes, present at 90%, to which a percentage equal to 10% of Nebbiolo grapes is added. The vineyards are characterized by clayey and calcareous substrates rich in white marl, which give the grapes of both varieties a remarkable finesse. Once ripe, the bunches are selected by hand for transport to the cellar. The vinification begins with alcoholic fermentation with contact maceration on the skins: this step takes place in steel vats at a controlled temperature and lasts about a week. For the refinement, the company favors the use of precious Slavonian oak barrels, where the wine rests for a few months. Excellent already after bottling, Ruvei Barbera D'alba DOC can offer pleasant surprises even after 3-4 years of further evolution.
