Barlàn

prodotti details


Barlàn, the comical and traditional figure of the Carnival of the village of Ghemme, was the inspiration for this great rosé with a difference. Creating a rosé using the ultimate Italian red variety as the base grape might seem a paradox, but the Nebbiolo grape appears to be well-suited to the task, with its high levels of acidity and concentration of aromas. The nobility of the Nebbiolo grape is only partly masked by the fresh palate and the golden pink colour of this Colline Novaresi D.O.C. wine.

Origin and method of vinification

Grape: 100% Nebbiolo
Vine training system: Guyot
Area of production: portion of vineyard of about 10 acres of our own estate in the area called Maretta, located in the D.O.C. area of Ghemme
Average yield per acre: about 2,000 kg
Harvesting: hand-picked during the first week of October and transported to the winery in small crates.
Vinification: pressing of the whole bunches in a low oxygen environment and fermentation of the filtered must at low temperature (14°C-15°C) all to avoid oxidization.
Ageing: no ageing but 5 months in stainless-steel tanks and 1 month in bottles.
Bottle: slender Bordeaux-style bottle.

Tasting notes

Colour: misty rose pink with golden hues.
Nose: typically fragrant, floral and fruity.
Flavour: fresh, well-balanced and sapid, elegant despite its youth.
Recommended initial serving temperature: 11°C-12°C, uncork just before serving.
Food pairings: very versatile, great with a variety of dishes. Delicate in flavour and aromas, it will not overpower but has sufficient structure to be drunk with rich and spicy food as a refreshing accompaniment.

    4 Reds Stars:«Bella prova d’autore sul Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo che accenna molto bene ai sentori tipici della rosa appassita e della viola, ma non disdegna il ribes e piccoli frutti rossi. Ha bocca avvolgente con bei tannini maturi. Molto piacevole»
