Description
Bel Colle is a benchmark producer from the historical comune of Verduno in Barolo. They farm 10 hectares with sustainable viticulture and eschew the use of any synthetic treatments, with the vineyards worked by hand & only organic preparations used. They are the proud custodians of some of the finest vineyards in the area including Monvigliero which is considered the Grand Cru of Verduno. Bel Colle also are famous for producing Pelaverga which is a vibrant, light on its feet red that is a specialty of Verduno that is rare and delicious.
The Alba viticultural area covers both the town of Alba and the surrounding Langhe hills, and overlaps with those of Piedmont’s two most famous red wines – Barolo and Barbaresco. All around Alba, are the kind of rolling hills which have come to symbolize the Piedmontese landscape.
Soft crushing of the grapes with de-stemming; static fermentation in steel tank with selected yeasts at a controlled temperature of 25 °C; aged for 6 months in steel tanks. It’s delicious, medium weight, elegant Barbera that is dangerously drinkable.
“This concentrated Barbera is brimming with ripe wild berry aromas mixed with star anise, rosewood and violets. The luscious palate evolves into more tart cherry flavors with notes of clove and dried herbs. The wine is round but the acidity is bright, keeping the wine balanced. ” 90 points, Jeff Porter, The Wine Enthusiast for the 2021.
