The “Fuori Catalogo” from Montalbera is a Piedmontese red wine with a simple and immediate profile, ready to drink.

The “Fuori Catalogo” is produced by the Montalbera winery starting from a blend where we find Barbera and Ruchè, the latter present with 40%. The vines grow using the guyot system, and the clusters are harvested when they are in a state of slight over-ripeness. After the destemming operations, the best grapes are gently pressed, and the resulting must begins to ferment in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The final aging consists of a short aging in steel, at the end of which the wine is ready to be bottled and marketed.

The red wine “Fuori Catalogo” from Montalbera presents itself visually with a ruby color, characterized by a particular intensity. The small red berry fruit alternates with sensations reminiscent of freshly picked apricots, in a simple and orderly olfactory progression. On the palate, it is light-bodied, smooth, with a crunchy and tasty sip, developing with good freshness, round and enveloping; a fruity flavor consistent with the aromas perceived during the olfactory analysis is felt. A Piedmontese red perfect to drink now, which impresses with the excellent relationship proposed between the expressed quality and the final price.
