Albarossa
Piemonte DOC
Albarossa tells the story of Bricco dei Guazzi: the heart in Monferrato with an eye on Piedmont. The vine, created in 1938 by Professor Dalmasso, found its home on the hills of Monferrato and on the Bric di Olivola. Its roots lie in a terroir defined as a Cru by Veronelli. Its grapes give life to a strongly identifiable wine as the result of a virtuous balance of two grape varieties: Barbera and Nebbiolo, which are interpreted by the elegance of Bricco dei Guazzi.

Terroir
Vinification
The overripe harvest of the grapes softens Nebbiolo's peculiar tannins and Barbera's acidity. The must obtained from the pressing and destemming phase is left to macerate in contact with the skins for one week, in large stainless steel tanks, at a temperature between 25 ° and 28 ° C. Frequent pumping over allows excellent color extraction and good body. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine is placed in barrique for 12 months, followed by another 12 months in 20-hectolitre barrels and a year of refinement in the bottle.
Color
The color is intense, deep, almost impenetrable ruby red.
Bouquet
The nose is immediately warm and enveloping, with intense hints of blueberry, small red berries and notes of roasting and leather.
Flavor
At taste, it is round and full; the great concentration of fruit, supported by a tannic profile, makes it an important but very pleasant wine. The basic composition guarantees this wine longevity and readiness to drink.
