Vigne Vecchie Barbera d'Asti Superiore 1993
Vigne Vecchie Barbera d’Asti Superiore fra årgang 1993 er fremstillet af kooperativet Vinchio Vaglio Serra. Vingården blev grundlagt i 1959 af 19 lokale vinavlere i Vinchio i Asti-provinsen, som ligger midt i Monferratos Barbera-land. Selvom det er et kooperativ, har det relativt få medlemmer og en stærk lokal forankring. Producenten fremhæver selv, at kommunerne Vinchio og Vaglio historisk set betragtes som et centrum for Barbera-produktion i Piemonte.
Denne rødvin er husets mest kendte og bærer klassifikationen Denominazione di Origine Controllata Superiore. Vinen er skabt på druer fra særligt udvalgte, gamle vinstokke, der ofte er over 50 år gamle. Disse ældre beplantninger giver et naturligt lavere udbytte, hvilket kooperativet bevidst udnytter til at skabe vine med større koncentration og dybde. Vingården vinificerer druer fra hele lokalområdet, men til netop denne vin er kun de ældste og mest kvalitetsrige vinstokke anvendt.
Vinen er udelukkende lavet på Barbera, som er en klassisk italiensk druesort, der især er udbredt i Piemonte og Californien. Barbera d’Asti er et af regionens vigtigste områder for netop denne drue og er placeret i bakkerne omkring Asti og Alessandria. Superiore-udgaverne fra denne appellation er kendt for at have ekstra struktur.
Piemonte, der bogstaveligt talt betyder "ved bjergets fod", ligger i det nordvestlige Italien omkranset af Alperne. Regionen er anerkendt for sit enorme fokus på terroir, hvor jordbund og mikroklima spiller en afgørende rolle for vindyrkningen. Landskabet er præget af dramatiske, stejle bakker, der ofte indhylles i en tyk morgentåge om efteråret, hvilket beskytter druerne under modningen. Udover Barbera dyrkes der en bred vifte af traditionelle druer i området, og Vinchio Vaglio Serra arbejder også med sorter som Dolcetto, Cortese, Nebbiolo og Moscato, der vokser side om side på de historiske marker.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Piedmont
Piedmont (which literally means "at the foot of the mountain") is located in northwestern Italy, surrounded by the Alps. It is considered one of the world's absolute most prestigious wine regions. The area is known for small, passionate, family-run wineries and a huge focus on terroir (how the soil and microclimate affect the wine).
Classic characteristics of Piedmont:
The royal wines: This is where the world-famous, complex and expensive red wines Barolo and Barbaresco come from (both made from 100% Nebbiolo).
Everyday heroes: In addition to Nebbiolo, the region is famous for the grapes Barbera (juicy, acidic and incredibly popular) and Dolcetto (dark, soft and fruity).
The white and sweet: Piedmont also makes the crisp white wine Gavi and the famous, lightly sparkling dessert bubbles Moscato d'Asti.
The landscape: Dramatic, steep hills – especially in the Langhe sub-area. The hills are often shrouded in thick morning mist in autumn, which protects the grapes and allows for a long, perfect ripening.
Gastronomy: An absolute mecca for food lovers. The area is world famous for the exclusive white truffles from Alba, hazelnuts and rich, simmered dishes that scream with a glass of local red wine.
Da denne vin blev lavet, så verden meget anderledes ud. Her er nogle af de historier, der udspillede sig, mens denne flaske stille ældes i sin kælder.
