In Piedmontese dialect, the term Maraia is synonymous with little rascals. Liveliness, exuberance, and sometimes a bit mischievous, this is a fitting name for a young, fresh, fragrant Barbera. The grapes used in producing Barbera del Monferrato come exclusively from best vineyards located in the community of Maranzana in Asti province. The vines are grown with Guyot (VSP trellised) system on hills with favorable inclines and terrains that are calcareous clay. The grapes are hand-picked, destalked and softly pressed. Fermentation takes in tanks at controlled temperature of 82-86F. After eight days of maceration, the wine is racked and aged for one year in traditional Slavonian oak barrels.
Red Wine, ABV 14.00%, 750ML Glass Bottle
A 100% Barbera red wine from Piedmont, Northern Italy. The Barbera grape is lovable for just that reason, because it has good acid and is very easy to drink, especially when it comes from fruit from Monferrato. This wine pairs well with meats and pizza.
