From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

Marchesi di Barolo seemed crazy when they uprooted a small vineyard in the heart of Barolo to plant Barbera. After all, Barolo is unique and very precious, and for this reason, Nebiolo grapes are considered the Barolo grape. But with this red Barbera wine, Marchesi di Barolo wanted to prove that the soil and territory are unique, and that they can make a unique wine with any grape. And we can confirm: this Peiragal is a unique wine made from Barbera d'Alba grapes in the heart of Barolo.

The soil composition of the lower regions of Piedmont is quite unique. The hills of the Langhe region vary in shape and profile and have a diverse soil type. Older layers are compact and contain a lot of lime and clay, while the more recent ones are somewhat looser and richer in quartzite, sand, and lime. The diversity of the soil, climate, and the expertise of the workers has resulted in a specific type of vine with its own character, characteristic of the region. This allows Marchesi di Barolo to produce unique wines.

The grapes are also hand-picked, and the harvest is small. This makes this one of Marchesi di Barolo's most exclusive wines. After harvest, this wine is aged for about twelve months in oak barrels in the Marchesi di Barolo cellars. This ensures that the wine achieves a perfect balance of tannins, acidity, and alcohol. The oak lends a soft hint of wood to the wine, complementing the other aromas and flavors. Not overwhelming, but all blending together into one uniquely pleasant experience. A warm, robust, full-bodied, and enjoyable wine. Ruby, almost purple in color. The aroma of this wine reveals hints of berries, currants, roasted hazelnuts, and vanilla. The palate is round, refined, and robust, with abundant black and red fruit, as well as light spices, vanilla, oak, licorice, and roasted nuts. What a magnificent wine! Barbera Peiragel is a perfect wine for any occasion. It goes well with veal, pasta and boiled or roasted meat, among other things.

Het oogstjaar 2023 in Piëmonte was uitdagend, maar Barbera-druiven profiteerden van de omstandigheden en produceerden wijnen met een goede structuur en fruitexpressie. Hoewel de Nebbiolo-oogst complex was, leverde Barbera wijnen op van goede kwaliteit.
