Barbera d’Asti D.O.C.G. “La Malandrina” 2020
Pure Barbera fermented in concrete and aged for 50% of the mass in stainless steel and 50% in American oak barrels.
The nose will be greeted by fruity hints that alternate with a ripe black cherry, giving a soft and fresh taste. In the afternasal to emerge are scents of resins and chestnut honey, for a balanced and satisfying closure, with clear memories of cinnamon.
The intense acidity tells the story of the generous and mineral heart of Mongardino.
Grignolino d’Asti D.O.C. “Preludio” 2021
Grignolino fermented in concrete and aged in acacia barrels to respect the varietal characteristics of the vine of origin. The mouthfeel is austere, full of power and structure, preceded by a nose of violet, black currant, dark spices and tobacco. Decidedly tannic and persistent.
Princely, a true king in the Monferrato.
