Barbera d'Alba "Rinaldi" by Marziano Abbona is an intense and rich red that interprets this historic Piedmontese vine in the sign of a fragrant elegance, accompanied by a rich aromatic complexity. The quality of the grapes, coming from vineyards cultivated in the famous area of Monforte d'Alba, guarantees structure and intensity. Careful vinification and aging in wood, give a soft and harmonious face, which attenuates the juvenile edges of Barbera. An ideal label to discover the noble face of the grape.

The red Barbera d'Alba "Rinaldi" is the result of the experience of one of the wineries symbol of the Langhe.

The vineyards of Barbera are about 50 years old and are cultivated in the Rinaldi district of the prestigious hilly area of Monforte d'Alba, one of the most famous territories of the Langhe. At the end of the harvest, the best bunches are de-stemmed and sent to spontaneous fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks, using only indigenous yeasts and with the classic maceration on the skins. The wine ages for some months in large oak barrels and after a short passage in steel tanks is bottle.
