Stefano Occhetti Barbera d'Alba DOC 2023
$33.99 6+ bottles (code: 6saves2)
Our Tasting Note: A refined but casual Barbera, in a drink now style you find at the best Piedmont producers. While easily quaffed down now, it has some good complexity and is also true to the grape. Plenty of up front fruit and subtle spice, garden herbs, and some savory nuances, very charming with good complexity to keep you thinking. The palate is medium to full bodied, finer plush tannins, mild acidity is perfectly integrated, with great palate and flavor density. Very good indeed!
Grape: 100% Barbera
Vineyard: Old and young Sandy soil plots in the Sanche vineyard with an average age of about 40 years old.
Winemaking: Grapes are vertically pressed, spontaneous fermentation in steel. Maceration with floating cap for 12-14 days. Matured for about 5 months-aging 225L/500L used French oak barrels for 5 months.
Production: Only 150 cases produced
