Tasting notes

Deep ruby with purple lights. The nose brings dark forest fruit and red cherry together with sweet spice and a faint note of cocoa from the tonneau. The palate is medium-bodied and soft in texture, carried by the juicy acidity that defines good Barbera, and the finish is clean with a chocolate edge.

About this wine

Paolo Manzone and his wife Luisella run their family winery in the Meriame cru at Serralunga d'Alba, in a small amphitheatre between Baudana and Lazzarito. The vineyards are worked by hand and without chemical treatments, the estate is part of The Green Experience sustainability programme, and the fruit is picked into small crates.

Fiorenza comes from low-yielding vineyards in the Sinio area, where Barbera keeps a clearly varietal character rather than being pushed for size. After fermentation in stainless steel the wine spends twelve months in French oak tonneaux, about a fifth of them new, which rounds the edges without masking its acidity.
