Barbera d'Alba Superiore doc San MIchele Malvirà 2006

The Barbera d’Alba Superiore San Michele by Malvirà is made with 100% Barbera grapes harvested in Canale, in the San Michele vineyard. It’s an intense red wine, aged in oak barrels for 20 months. In the glass, it reveals a bright and intense ruby red colour. The bouquet is full and fruity, with hints of plum, blackberries and cassis, besides deeper notes of white chocolate and vanilla. The sip is structured, soft and velvety, with a fresh and sapid aftertaste. The Barbera d’Alba Superiore San Michele by Malvirà is a great and elegant wine: we recommend it with meat, pork filet, roasts, Porcini risotto and gravy first courses.

The Malvirà wine production starts in the ‘50s under the leadership of Giuseppe Damonte. Giuseppe Damonte loved its soil and he realized that Roero could be have a big potential. Today the Malvirà leadership is of the Giuseppe sons, Massimo and Roberto, who have the same dream and passion of his father. Over time, the wine firm is grow and gets new market, but the conduction remain of the family.
