Scarpa – Barbera d’Asti Superiore La Bogliona – 2019

Barbera Bogliona is the calling card of the Scarpa winery,known internationally precisely for its ability to maintain its characteristics for 10,20 and even more years. The vineyards are located precisely in the Bogliona locality from which the wine takes its name,where the soil is rich in sand and magnesium that gives the wine an extraordinary elegance but without lacking structure. Before being bottled,for two years in a borgognotta customized in design,it ages for up to 18 to 36 months in large oak barrels. A decisive wine, sometimes a bit austere but also sensual with a long and smooth finish.

Description

One of the wineries with the most history and quality in Piedmont. We are in Nizza Monferrato, the absolute best area for Barbera production, and it was here that Cantina Scarpa was founded in 1854 by the Venetian migrant Antonio Scarpa. Thanks to winemaker Mario Pesce, who took over the winery in the 1940s, a marked improvement in wines and style was seen. The winery’s technique despite its 100-year history is still the same: macerations and long aging in only exclusively large oak barrels and in bottles. But the main point that has made this winery famous is the importance they give to grape varieties relatively considered easier to drink such as Ruché and Barbera, managing to achieve great results but above all wines that can age even for 20 years! ( which is truly unique and rare, given that they are fresh wines to drink in their early years). In addition to being famous for Barbera such as the legendary “Bogliona” where it performs a long aging of 4 years, the winery also produces Barolo and Barbaresco: coming from very old vineyards and aged also in this case in large wooden barrels for a long time, without following the precise rules of the disciplinary, but only following the natural times of the wine, just to enhance the different microclimates conceiving wines of great structure able to evolve well over time even for 50 years. This winery expresses the true essence of great Piedmontese wines. Here you can breathe true old school!!!
