Description
VIBERTI BARBERA D’ ALBA “LA GEMELLA 2019” CL 75
The latest addition to the Viberti family, its name is dedicated to Maria (twin by birth), wife of Giovanni Viberti, a woman of humble origins who made a fundamental contribution to the growth of the company and her family. Cook for over 50 years at the family inn, alias Buon Padre, a tenacious and strict mother, and a great lover of Barbera, in 2004 she observed how many of the most beautiful Barbera vineyards had been replaced with the Nebbiolo variety, a more profitable grape than that same Barbera considered for years the “poor man’s wine”, due to a marked acidity and difficult drinkability. The project was born from the intuition of Claudio, the youngest son and new generation in the management of the family company. A new vineyard was planted with a higher planting density. The objective, then achieved over time, was a wine with great concentration, a particular sweetness and a nose of clear and intense red fruit . The acidity, aided by the concentration, makes the wine extremely elegant and fascinating. Barbera d’Alba La Gemella also expresses its best potential in the warmest years. It is fermented with submerged cap for 7-10 days
