PianoAlto
Barbera D'Asti DOC Superiore Nizza
The PianoAlto estate surrounds its old farmhouse on the Crena ridge, with a lovely
view of the village of Agliano d’Asti.
The oldest vineyard produces the grapes used for PIANOALTO, a Barbera d’Asti
Superiore that bears the designation Nizza, the best-suited sub-zone for the production
of this fine red wine.
The use of piedmontese double-sized barrels for ageing brings out the best of
its typical characteristics.
The label design, bold and graphically stark, is stylized after the brick sunshade
of the old farmhouse’s hayloft
GRAPE - ORIGIN:
100% Barbera all from the oldest vineyards at the PianoAlto estate, in Crena
VINIFICATION:
The wine is aged in 1500 litre piedmontese barrels, custom-coopered using new
wood. The wine is bottled directly from the barrels, without filtration
CHARACTER: Intense colour and complex aromas in a wine with great body, typical of Nizza
Barberas. The oak is not overpowering and the wine is excellent ageing potential.
