Ascheri’s Barbera Fontanelle comes from a single block of vines on a sloping hillside in the La Morra area of Piedmont. The vineyard is managed to optimize the ripeness and natural sugar level of the grapes. Ascheri harvests by hand as late as possible, usually in mid-October, to moderate the grape’s high natural acidity. He vinifies in stainless steel vats at 26° Celsius. The Barbera is then aged in 1500-2000 litre Slavonian oak casks, of which are 75% new for 6 months
Profile:
Deep ruby red colour with violet nuances
Complex, intense bouquet of blackberries, plums, fruit jam and spices
Round, harmonious, complex palate full and ripe but fresh and tasty. Remarkably classy wine endowed with finesse
Food Pairing: As an aperitif or with starters: the bitter notes and dry finish whet the appetite and prepare diners to savour the meal. Ideal served with delicately-flavoured dishes such as fish dishes
What’s In It: 100% Barbera
