Prunotto Barbera d'Asti Fiulot 2015 (Italy)

Description

The Wine is a vivid and intense ruby red in colour with grapey and fruity (plum and cherry) aroma. Grapes grown on light and loose-textured soils and modern oenological techniques which enable producers to obtain and conserve fruit and freshness combine to make this a wine which is very pleasureable in its youth. For this reason it goes well with simple dishes such as hors d'oeuvres, soups, risotto, and pasta. The wine is most enjoyable at cool 13-15 centigrade (55-59 Fahrenheit) temperatures. 

The grapes were destemmed and pressed and then fermented on thier skins for eight days at maximum temperaturs of 28 centigrade (82 Fahrenheit). Immediately after being run its skins, 20% of the wine was aged in 77 hecoliter oak casks were it went through a complete maloactic fermentation before winter. The wine was then aged for several months in stainless steel tanks before bottling in the spring.
