RED WINE - VIGINTO Barbera d Asti

CANTINA FRATELLI PAGLIERO – Fratelli Pagliero

The pride of the winery is our Barbera d'Asti DOCG "Viginto". A name, a thousand-year-old and curious history. The Roman conquerors traced in the area a dense network of roads that, in addition to leading into Gaul, connected the centers of Tortona, Acqui Terme, Asti and Alba. From the distance between Vinchio and Alba of 20 Roman miles the ancient term viginti is derived. Hence the name of our Barbera, a frank and nostalgic wine, complex and persistent, fresh and elegant. Its grapes come from over thirty years of vineyards facing south and bring with them all the essence of the calcareous and sandy lands, typical of Monferrato. After vinification exclusively in steel, they are aged 6 months in bottle. At the sight, the Barbera "Viginto" has a ruby red color, bright and deep. On the nose, its notes are intense and vigorous. Already from the first sip, it is offered in all its savory roundness, with its wide bouquet of red fruits such as cherry, blackberry, raspberry and plum. And a particular spicy hint on which we invite you to linger ...
