Barbera d’Asti, La Smilla 2019

£13.90

Barbera is Italy’s third-most -planted red grape and it is extensively grown in Piedmont in Northern Italy. Deep purple colour, a natural high acidity and notably low level of tannins are the hallmarks of Barbera wines. The Barbera d’Asti production zone stretches from the town of Asti, to Alessandria and Cuneo.
This lovely Barbera d’Asti from La Smilla is the result of the typical limestone-rich clay white soil and unique climate of the Monferrato area in Southern Piedmont. It offers concentrated aromas of red berries and plums with underwood and earthy notes.

La Smilla is located 20 km south the town of Gavi at 280 metres above sea level, near the Ligurian Apennines, La Smilla's vineyards are perfectly placed to produce exquisite Cortese grapes. Danilo Guido and his wine-making history is strictly linked with the history and traditions of the nearby Liguria region. He manages his vineyards planted on steep hills in a traditional way with limited use of machinery. The cellar is located in the centre of the village of Bosio and has maintained the characteristics of the past: the underground section of the cellar still houses some characteristic old concrete square-shaped barrels, while in the more modern section steel vats and French oak barrels can be found.
