A very intense ruby red color with light orange highlights, white flowers, yellow-fleshed fruit. Bouquet of jam, spices, and cocoa. Structured, intense, elegant, with great persistence. A noble grape variety, often mistakenly considered unsuitable for the production of long-aging wines in the past. In fact, there are few wine-growing areas where Barbera can best express its structure, elegance, and its particular longevity. The small plot owned by Vignaquaranti in the municipality of Castelletto Molina, near Nizza Monferrato, is an excellent example. The fifty-year-old vines are planted with a southeast exposure on sandy-loamy soil. The vineyard is managed very efficiently, thanks primarily to the age of the vines. For this Barbera Superiore, only grapes from the best-exposed vines on the plot are used, selected by hand and featuring an excellent technological and phenolic ripeness profile. The grapes are crushed and undergo a fermentation characterized by long macerations.
