WINE DESCRIPTION

Prinsi Much Barbera d'Alba Superiore hails from the commune of Neive. Here, Barbera is planted on marly, clay and white tuffaceous soils. After harvesting, the grapes are destalked and softly pressed. Fermentation takes place with skin maceration in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature (25°C). It is then followed by malolactic fermentation in wooden casks. The wine is then aged 18 months, one part in small frenck oak barrels and the other part in wooden casks. The wine is then aged for further period in bottle before release.
