The Wines produced in Italy and more specifically in Northern Italy have a long tradition in the
quality of wines that it produces. Its unique natural landscapes together with the
flora of the place contribute to the production of wines with unique organoleptic
Features. Listed below are 3 well-known and particularly high quality
wines of this Mediterranean country that are perhaps one of the most important Wines of the Country.
For a wine to qualify as Barbera D'Alba, it must be made from at least Barbera varieties. The remaining minimum of 15% must come from the highest quality variety of the Piedmont area, the Nebbiolo variety.
It should be matured in oak barrels for at least 4 months and should be consumed several years after bottling. The latter is recommended because of the high acidity of the wine and the long period before consumption helps to achieve a complete balance between acidity, astringency and aromas.
Barbera D'Alba wines are notorious for their deep red colour, low tannin content and high acidity levels. They also give off wonderful aromas of cherry, plum, vanilla and chocolate. They can be paired with grilled meats, pasta with red sauce, risotto, cheeses and cold cuts.
It is a white wine from the Cortese variety. The latter is widely grown in the hills of the municipality of Gavi, in vineyards near the sea.
It is a type of wine which, in addition to the alcoholic fermentation that all types undergo, is also subject to malolactic fermentation, the result of which is
the wonderful aromas of fruit and flowers that it exudes.
In case you want to achieve the ultimate culinary pleasure, combine this wine with linguini and artichokes.
