Villavecchia – Barbera d’Asti DOCG
$17.99
Barbera d’Asti has an intense ruby red color, that is clear and quite consistent. To the smell it is intense and good complexity with notes of macerated red fruit, cherry, small fruits. In the mouth it is structured, soft, of good finesse and elegance: pleasant and long in the finish. The grapes are harvested at the end of September in two vineyards with over 30 years of life and with a very low yield per hectare. The vinification takes place in the latest generation horizontal ferments with maceration of about 6 days at a temperature of about 28 Celsius. The aging last 1 year; the first part in large 30 hl wooden barrels and then in a bottle.

Vina Robles Segredo Estate Desert Wine
Segredo is a limited-production, fortified red dessert wine inspired by traditional ports. The unique “secret” is the use of Petite Sirah which lends itself to producing ageworthy wines with layers of richness. The fruit was kept on the vine for an extended period at our estate Jardine Vineyard, enabling it to develop rich, concentrated flavors. The fruit was sorted, destemmed and then pumped over up to three times per day. After six days of fermentation, neutral grape spirits were added to halt fermentation and preserve the remaining natural sugar. Aged for 20 months in French and American oak barrels, Segredo is the perfect dessert wine or can be enjoyed together with chocolate, cheese or nuts.
