Luigi Giordano is a pioneering family winery crafting timeless classics from the heart of Barbaresco, Piedmont.
Barbera d’Alba Superiore is a Barbera with a bit more complexity thanks to some oak aging. Dressed in a deep ruby shade, this wine weaves together the rich flavours of plums and blackberries, intermingled with delicate floral accents, a touch of spice and subtle hints of chocolate. On the palate, it’s fruit-forward and full bodied, harmoniously balanced by vibrant acidity and a lasting finish.
Barbera d’Alba Superiore is sourced from a vineyard in the sub-zone of Barbaresco, called ’Buschet’, meaning ‘little woods’ and referring to an iconic area of Barbaresco for winemakers of Barbera and Dolcetto. The grapes were harvested from 50 year old vines. Once at the winery, the grapes were destemmed and fermented, including 10-15 days on their skin. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged for 12 months of which at least 4 months were in oak.
