Casa Edi Mirafiore Barbera Superiore DOC 2020 x 12
BARBERA D’ALBA SUPERIORE
DOC
GRAPE-VARIETY Barbera 100%
AVERAGE YIELD 45 hl per hectare
GROWING LOCATION Village of Serralunga d’Alba
VINEYARD FEATURES
The grapes are grown exclusively on estate-owned vineyards, facing
east and south west in a high and mid-hillside position (300-350 m.
a.s.l.). The soils are rich in clay and calcareous marl.
WINE-MAKING PROCESS
The fermentation traditionally takes place in stainless stee tanks at
controlled temperature with frequent pumping over of the must to
optimise the extraction of tannins and colour. The maceration lasts
12-15 days.
AGEING
The Mirafiore Barbera d’Alba Superiore ages in big and medium size
oak barrels (20 - 140 hl), in which the malolactic fermentation takes
place before the end of the winter. The wine stays in wood for one
year, and then is bottled before further ageing in the cellars for six
months.
TASTING CHARACTERISTICS
The soil is the typical soil of Serralunga d’Alba, very rich in microele
ments, therefore these vineyards originate wines that express great
character, with pronounced acidity and flavour. The colour is dark
ruby-red with purple highlights; nose brimming over with leather,
black liquorice, coffee and blackberry. This Barbera d’Alba starts out
on the palate providing a warm feeling of volume and body, with the
fruit blending marvellously with the soft tannins and the acidity,
while its finish is long and savoury.
