Barbera d'Alba doc Valbianchera Giovanni Almondo 2013

Elegant Barbera d’Alba with an intense ruby red colour; it reveals an intense and fruited bouquet, with some hints of jam, mature cherry, vanilla, and aromatic grass. This wine is endowed with a good structure, and its taste is a balanced and persistent one. It accompanies perfectly risotto, lasagne, second courses based on meat, salami and medium seasoned cheeses.

This is a family-run-business, today as in the past. The purpose of this estate is the consolidation’s attestations of wine quality and the spread of an image about the locality. The aspiration is to produce wines able to reflect the characters of the Roero area, its territory and its values, by respecting the tradition and the ability of innovation. The Almondo family sees about the 15 hectares of vineyards in Montà: the chemical interventions are minimal, always manual weeding. The prestige is of Domenico, who has understood the potentiality of some grapes and of the Roero’s terroir, that is perfect for its potentiality of grapes’ maturation.
