Barbera d'Alba Superiore 2023 MG

The Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC by E. Pira & Figli – Chiara Boschis stands as a lavish, vibrant, and beautifully balanced expression of Piedmont's iconic indigenous red variety. Sourced from organically farmed old-vine plots within the Barolo commune, this wine benefits from Chiara Boschis' meticulous viticultural care—including strict green harvesting to restrict yields and optimize grape ripeness, balancing Barbera's naturally high acidity.

Cellar protocols combine precision and restraint: temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks with a 2-week skin maceration. Maturation takes place for **approximately 12 months in French oak barriques (mostly second- and third-fill casks)** to round out the structure while preserving bright, fresh fruit purity. Chiara Boschis' Barbera d'Alba Superiore emerges as a deeply colored, concentrated red—soaring with dark plum, ripe blackberry, cocoa, and subtle spice aromatics, anchored by a vibrant, mouthwatering acidity and a velvety, long-lasting finish.
