Cantine Valpane Rosso Pietro, Monferrato, Piedmont, Italy 2020

Description

It is simply called "Rosso Pietro", not only because it is the red wine at the base of the Pietro Arditi range, but also in reference to his red beard - although today, jokingly speaking, he claims that the name should be updated to "Grigio Pietro" (Grey Pietro)!

The aroma of black cherry and black currant stands out in the nose, followed by fern and cloves, while in the mouth it has an excellent drinkability with a lingering finish of acidy fruits.

This Barbera is made from the Barbera grape, with partial carbonic maceration followed by clarification in stainless steel tanks. Its fruity aroma is reminiscent of cherry and blackberry, while its dry, frank and slightly salty taste releases a pleasant undertone of black cherry.
