The 2021 Maridà Barbera d'Asti showcases the elegance and complexity of this versatile varietal. Cultivated in sandy and clayey soils using the espalier cultivation system, the grapes undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation and long aging in the cellar. The wine's color is an intense ruby red with garnet hues, while the bouquet is rich with complex notes of raspberry, tobacco, incense, spices, and licorice. On the palate, it offers a smooth, warm, and dry sensation with lingering flavors and light tannins. This balanced wine is best served at 18-20°C and pairs beautifully with roasts, game, and mature cheeses.
