Nizza DOCG 2019 - Cascina Valle Asinari

In this case, we are at the top of the quality pyramid when it comes to Barbera grapes. The Barbera from Nizza has always been considered the best and it is no coincidence that it is labelled DOCG. Here we find it in the successful interpretation of Cascina Valle Asinari. A powerful and rich wine from the taste point of view, with a right acidity, typical for the variety. It is made from grapes grown in San Marzano Oliveto, in the province of Asti, on sandy soils rich in silt. Vinification is super traditional, in cement tanks, with spontaneous fermentation triggered by indigenous yeasts. At the end of vinification, this Barbera matures in large Slavonian oak casks for 12 months and ends its ageing in cement vats for a further 6 months. In the glass it has a beautiful ruby red colour, with complex and elegant aromas reminiscent of red fruit and undergrowth. In the mouth, however, it is warm and powerful but also round and fruity. On the table it fears no comparison. When meat is the protagonist, it doesn't matter if it is a simple rib-eye steak, a roast or a braised meat.... This bottle is the right one to open.

Oscar Farinetti and Piero Bagnasco are two entrepreneurs who like to bet on projects that have what it takes to become success stories. And one of these is undoubtedly Cascina Valle Asinari, a young Piedmontese reality born from the purchase of the historic Bricco Asinari winery. We are in San Marzano Oliveto, near Asti, where Barbera and Nebbiolo are the two most widely grown varieties. The company can count on a total of 20 hectares in organic conversion. All around, gentle hills covered with vineyards as far as the eye can see. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in cement tanks, long maturation and ageing in wood are the ingredients of a style that perfectly combines tradition and modernity. A fine project that should be followed carefully.
