Alberto Burzi – Barbera d’Alba Plaustra – 2021

Unusual expression of Barbera compared to the classics where no attempt was made to extrapolate vigor and body with the use of wood but to preserve freshness. The vineyards are in La Morra in the Santa Maria locality with a 2008 high-density planting known as Plaustra, where the low production per plant and sandy soils result in wines of great refinement. No more than 5 clusters per vine are produced, which following summer thinning yields about 1.3 kg of grapes per plant, vinification is carried out in steel tanks lasting 6 days and then aging in contact with the lees in the same containers several months. The aim is to enhance the primary sensations of the grape itself, incredible red fruit notes well marked and fresh that are found on the palate where roundness and pleasant acidity are collected. It cannot be missing from one’s table.
