VINCHIO VAGLIO, REG. SAN PANCRAZIO, 1 - 14040 VINCHIO (AT)
Vigne Vecchie' always make good wine. This is now well established. Years and years of close cohabitation, in fact, allow the now mature vines to produce few bunches but of the highest quality. Bunches that, suitably processed, often give rise to wines of great value. It is no coincidence that when the vineyards of origin are historic, this is clearly stated on the label. As in the case of this Barbera d'Asti DOCG, produced for the 50th anniversary of the Vinchio Vaglio winery. But let us proceed with order. After the grapes have been destemmed and crushed, the must is transferred to temperature-controlled horizontal fermenters. Alcoholic fermentation, with maceration, lasts approximately 9 days, to best extract the varietal aromas and all the polyphenolic substances present in the skin. Then, after malolactic fermentation, the wine is left to rest for about 16 months in stainless steel and cement tanks, and is then left to refine for a further 6 months in the cellar after bottling. In the glass it has a beautiful ruby red colour with violet hues. On the nose, aromas of ripe black fruit such as blackberry, black cherry and cherry are immediately perceptible. The palate reveals a fresh, savoury and elegant wine. Rightly structured, it does not struggle to find its perfect place on the table. Good today, it will still be good for several years to come. Try it with first courses dressed with meat or mushroom sauces, meat main courses and, for lovers of traditional dishes, with the classic Finanziera or Bagna Cauda.
In 1959, the year of its foundation, there were only 19. Today, the members of the Cantina Cooperativa Vinchio e Vaglio Serra number almost 200. In total, they manage around 450 hectares of vineyards with care and passion. In particular Barbera, the so-called 'Rubino di Vinchio', but also other typical local varieties, such as Dolcetto, Cortese, Grignolino, Nebbiolo, Brachetto, Moscato, Freisa and Bonarda. In addition to this dense group of autochthonous, i.e. typical local varieties, there are also international varieties that are best suited to the Piedmont hills, such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Viognier. The vineyards, mostly on very steep slopes, make the work particularly demanding but, at the same time, guarantee optimal exposures that result in perfect ripening. The quality of the harvested grapes is, of course, also helped by the nature of the soils, whose mineral components guarantee the production of high quality wines. The wine cellar, on the other hand, is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and modern winemaking facilities, and also has a large barrique cellar, built into the hillside, which guarantees constant and natural temperature and humidity. Here there are French oak barriques and barrels of various capacities, where the wines can age slowly. For as long as necessary.
