Hilberg-Pasquero – Barbera d’Alba Superiore – 2013

Hilberg-Pasquero is one of the most dynamic and true wineries in the Langa and Roero area. The pasquero family has been cultivating vineyards and land in the heart of Roero, precisely in Priocca, with all the love and passion for its territory since the twentieth century.
The winery had a qualitative but above all innovative turning point thanks to Michelangelo Pasquero, very much in love with the land with him, but also curious and ready to learn about new techniques to cultivate the land without intervening with chemicals. After studying at the university, Michelangelo moves to Germany and Sweden to deepen the techniques of organic agriculture, in these trips he meets Annette, where their love and passion for the land unites them. Back home together, the two began to cultivate beyond the vineyards, but also vegetables, with a different mentality, more attentive and biodynamic agriculture. The winery cultivates only 6 hectares of nebbiolo, barbera, dolcetto and brachetto, a few bottles, but genuine wines, which need time, but above all with the aim of being harmonious.
Barbera Superiore is produced only in less than 5000 bottles and undergoes an important refinement of almost two years in barrique and another 2 in bottle. The vinification is carried out in the traditional way for 22 days in open tanks. A great Barbera, without frills, where its most important characteristic stands out, namely acidity, ripe fruit nose and beautiful roundness. Not a simple wine …
