martina-barbera-2015-cantina-castaldi

VARIETY: Barbera 100%, training system: Guyot.

VINTAGE: The grapes were handpicked at the beginning of October and collected in 20 kg baskets. In 2018 the season was to be considered hot and dry in our region, those conditions favored the accumulation of sugars in the grapes and the concentration of aromatic factors that are very present in this particular vintage. The alcoholic fermentation was conducted in stainless steel tanks, followed by 7 days of maceration. By the end of October, the Malolactic fermentation was finished as well. We finally procedeed with bottling in summer 2019.
