Vinification

This Barbera comes from the “Caj” locality located in the Alba area, a hilly area at an average height of 380 meters above sea level. The soil is lean, calcareous marl, facing South-South-West; for a total of 3.96 hectares, from the Azienda Agricola Giribaldi di Mario – Rodello D'Alba estate. The vineyards are made up exclusively of Barbera; the cultivation is Guyot with 5,000 vines per hectare. Winemaking involves maceration for 12-15 days, with multiple daily pumping over. Fermentation is carried out at a constant and controlled temperature. After resting in stainless steel tanks, the wine matures for approximately 6 months in 30 HL barrels. Followed by maturation in bottle for at least 6 months.
