Description

The grapes for this wine are grown in the subarea of Bussìa, in the grounds of Cascina Canavere in the Commune of Monforte. Fermented with the skins this wine matures in 60 hectolitre casks.

The ruby red color, fresh scents of fruit and pastries, consistent and full-bodied taste makes this wine refined and elegant. -Winemaker’s Notes

The Giacosa Fratelli 2018 Barbera d’Alba Bussia Canavere offers a dark and sultry set of aromas with plummy dark fruit and blackberry. It shows nice varietal purity for sure (with eight months in botte). This cool vintage is slightly restrained and more subdued, especially given the fact that Barbera tends to quickly absorb the summer heat, and the grape happily radiates those sunny and warm flavors back at you. This wine is contained and tight, and it could accompany a nice platter of charcuterie. -Monica Larner (07/23/2020)
