Mon Ross · Barbera d'Asti DOCG 2022

  Giovanni Scaglione's Barbera “Mon Ross” is a genuine artisan product - carefully produced in very small quantities and characterized by the winemaker's personal signature. Unlike wines from large-scale industrial production, you can feel the authenticity and individual care in every bottle. The wine is only partially filtered to preserve its full character, which explains the occasional sediment and is to be understood as a sign of quality. This approach is also followed in the vineyard: some plots are traditionally cultivated with horses - a laborious but respectful process that protects and preserves the original, rugged landscape.

The grapes for the “Mon Ross” come from selective hand-picking. Only fully ripe, healthy berries are carefully placed in permeable crates to ensure that they reach the wine press as intact as possible. There, spontaneous fermentation takes place with the vineyard's own yeasts, followed by a further four months of maturation in small oak barrels, which further enhance the aromatic depth and complexity of the wine. The fermentation and storage processes take place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks before the wine is naturally stabilized during the cold winter months. The wine is finally bottled in early spring, just in time for the first full moon in March - a poetic conclusion to a process accompanied by hand and heart. - Gerardo [TS10/23]
