Barbera d'Alba Bric Loira from Cascina Chicco is a highly esteemed red wine produced in the Piedmont region in northwestern Italy. This area is renowned for its high-quality wines, thanks to fertile soil and an ideal climate for viticulture. The Alba territory, in particular, is known for producing Barbera wines, a native grape variety distinguished by its lively acidity and deep fruit aromas. The Bric Loira vineyard of Cascina Chicco is situated in a privileged position on hilly terrain with a southwest exposure, ensuring excellent grape ripening. The Barbera grapes for this wine are hand-harvested, usually in mid-October, when they have reached the right level of maturity. After harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and crushed, and the resulting must ferments in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The production process includes maceration on the skins for about 10-12 days to extract color and tannins. This is followed by malolactic fermentation, which helps soften the typical acidity of Barbera and adds aromatic complexity to the wine. The wine is aged in French oak barriques for about 12 months, during which it acquires additional aromas and greater structure. After aging in wood, the wine is bottled and left to rest for several months before being released. Barbera d'Alba Bric Loira from Cascina Chicco shows an intense ruby red color and offers aromas of ripe red fruit, spices, and toasted notes. On the palate, it is full, round, and well balanced, with a pleasant acidity that makes it fresh and lively. This wine pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses. It is also an excellent meditation wine to be enjoyed slowly to appreciate all its nuances.
