Barbera d'Alba 2021

Barbera d'Alba by Podere Gagliassi is a red wine produced in Monforte d'Alba.

The winery produces two different Barberas from the same vineyard in Sant'Anna, Monforte d'Alba. The grapes are selected within the same plot, primarily to achieve an easier style, as in the case of this bottle, or a fuller-bodied and more structured style, as with the Barbera Superiore. In this case, the grapes are harvested from the lower altitude portion of the vineyard, where proximity to shaded areas and a greater amount of water in the soil allow the berry to express itself with more fruit freshness and acidity, characteristics also enhanced by vinification in stainless steel tanks.

The Winery: Podere Gagliassi

A recent winery, formally established only a few years ago, located in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba in the Sant'Anna area. We are in those east-facing vineyards that overlook the eastern ridge of Monforte and the valley that then ascends towards Serralunga. The winery focuses on the production of red wines, from Nebbiolo da Barolo to Barbera, which is vinified under two different labels, and Nebbiolo, with the exception of a Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyard used for the production of Alta Langa DOCG.
