Podere Ruggeri Corsini Barbera d'Alba DOC 2021

Alcohol: 14.5%

Grape(s): 100% Barbera

Localization: Piedmont, Italy

Tasting Notes: Barbera is a very prestigious typical Piedmontese wine that can be enjoyed young but is also suited for aging in wood. It is a rich, elegant, full-bodied wine characterized by a fresh acidity. It is very appreciated both in Italy and internationally. This wine is considered the typical red table wine: originally appreciated in Piedmont and Lombardy, today it is widely spread throughout Italy and the world. It has a ruby-violet, red color, a rich and varied bouquet with fruit notes reminiscent of blackberries, cherries, strawberries and berry jam, along with spicy notes of cinnamon, vanilla and green pepper. Its deep, full and robust flavor softens the acidity typical of this variety. It can be aged in steel vats, in bottles or in wood. It pairs well with rich dishes such as pasta and risotto but also with meat dishes.

Food pairing: Ideally paired with starters and cold meats, pasta dishes with butter or cheese sauces, such as the traditional plin ravioli, Bagna Càuda, or risottos and creamy cheeses.

Notes: Normally based on Dolcetto, then Barbera and Nebbiolo and mixed blacks, in varying percentages depending on the year The one blended Corsini wine. This, effectively, is the farm s second label, created to enable it to keep a high standard with its other wines (everything is estate bottled at Ruggeri Corsini; nothing is sold in bulk to traders, a fact that makes quality control for a wine like Matot particularly important). Matot is, as Nicola says, a glass of Piedmontese red.

The Domain: We are Loredana Addari and Nicola Argamante, both graduated in Agriculture and specialized in Viticulture and Oenology, united by the same dream.
