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.

Huerhuero Vineyard Estate Rosé
Inspired by the refreshing, dry rosés of southern France. With its sunsoaked slopes and coastal ambiance, Paso Robles boasts an ideal terroir for echoing the flavor and spirit of these popular Mediterranean wines.
Select blocks of Syrah, Grenache and Viognier from our estate Huerhuero Vineyard were each harvested for this wine when they reached full-flavor ripeness. At the winery, the grapes were crushed and transferred directly into stainless steel tanks.
The Syrah was cold soaked on its skins for two hours to extract color and flavor without excessive astringency. The juice was then drained off and into another tank then cold settled for 48 hours to further remove excess sediment.
Upon racking, all three lots were inoculated with a selected yeast strain to express fresh, aromatic fruit aromas and enhance complexity, then blended just prior to bottling.
