Banfi L'Altra Barbera d'Asti 2021 (Italy)

Description

Cherry, Floral, Plum

Thanks to its freshness and pleasantness, L’Altra is the perfect Barbera to enjoy in every occasion. Very intense ruby red in colour with violet nuances, on the nose, notes of red fruits and floral hints of violet stand out. In the mouth the acidic freshness typical of the vine is perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the tannins. The finish is long and persistent with fruity notes.

The winter was mild, with standard rainfall for the season, whereas the following months of April and May were characterized by temperatures below seasonal averages, which caused a modest delay in the flowering phase. The rise in temperatures, as well as the lack of rain, in June and July created a slight water stress and a minor delay in ripening in some vineyards. The excellent temperature variations and sunny weather in September and October ensured a perfect harvest, with grapes of excellent quality.

Food Pairing: Ideal as an aperitif wine but also paired with tasty dishes.
