Gaudio Bricco Mondalino Barbera del Monferrato 2019

85% Barbera and 15% Freisa from well exposed vines on elevated, calcareous calyey terrain geologically deriving from an ancient seabed, thus rich in fossils. Vinification takes place in stainless steel with maceration for two weeks. Fermentation takes place under a controlled temperature. Malolactic fermentation takes place in 1st and 2nd use barriques. The wine is aged in Allier barriques and tonneaux for six months followed by an additional year of bottle aging. Intense ruby red, verging on garnet in time. Fruity when young, with enticing raspberry aromas, grows more and more complex with bottle age. Full and flavorful, with gobs of sweet plum and cherry fruit
