Cascina la Barbatella – Nizza La Vigna dell’Angelo – 2021

The highlight of their selection is their Nizza, a true calling card and demonstration of the unparalleled characteristics of this area for Barbera. It is made from a single plot called “Vigna dell’Angelo” at the foot of the winery, an authentic Cru composed of old, limestone soils facing full south where the vines range from 60 to 90 years of age that enjoy exceptional climatic freshness. After the grapes are selected, they are gently pressed to have an efficient extraction and vinified for 20 days in steel tanks, aging is done for 12-15 months in French oak barrels, after an additional 6 months of rest in steel it is aged in the bottle 12 months. One of the tastiest barberas you will taste, intense aromas of ripe fruit mixed with spice highlighting its complexity in the minutes, on the palate it is balanced by softness and acidity with a long and dynamic persistence in the delightful finish. A must try!

Description

Cascina La Barbatella is located in Nizza Monferrato in the heart of the Nizza DOCG, considered the best area for Barbera, and is part of that group of wineries that make this vine famous all over the world, producing bottles of absolute excellence every year. A small family business, it was born in 1982 when the first harvest was made, becoming a grape contributor at the beginning, then from 2005 it was bought by Lorenzo Perego and his wife who decided to stop selling and become producers, launching a challenge to the future in a whole new world for them. First years of study of techniques, territory and experimentation with the help of their winemaker establishing continuous improvement goals until 2010 when the entire structure was renovated respecting both a modern and traditional style. Today they manage 3.5 hectares of vineyard with the good fortune of owning very old plants up to 95 years old, taking advantage of a natural amphitheater with optimal altitudes and exposures at most where they grow mainly Barbera and international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In their vision, there is no predefined calendar but they follow a passion dictated by the land by following the progression of the seasons, the preservation of the environment allows the health of the vineyard treated with natural methods so as to obtain high quality bunches. Low and weighted yields are practiced for each grape variety with summer thinnings, in the winery steel is used in vinification while for aging only barriques and tonneaux are used with a minimum stay of 12 months before bottling leaving at least one year to rest here as well. A fantastic genuine dimension of full appreciation.
