Barbera d'Asti Superiore Tirteo / 2022 / 75cl

Owned by the Sperone family, an ancient 17th century villa was built on top of a hill in Casalotto di Mombaruzzo, near Asti, in the heart of Monferrato, Piedmont. Tenute Neirano`s origins began when Antonio Sperone began making wine in 1911 and today the estate is of great importance by combining rural tradition and modern technology. Now led by Francesca and Andrea Sperone 94th generation of the family), with 30 hectares of their own vineyards making some of the finest Italian wines. Among the white Piedmont classics of insuperable quality, we find Gavi and for the internationally awarded reds, Barolo and Barbera d’Asti superiore.

A brilliant fresh and full bodied wine which exhibits round sweet fruit flavours and extraordinary length. It is a delicious modern style of Barbera with both elegance and complexity supported by supple, moderate tannins. Barbera gives intense mouthfilling marasca cherry and red berry fruits, velvety texture and acidity softened by one year ageing in barrel. The tannins are present but fine grained which leads on to a fine and lasting finish.
