The Nizza Monferrato wine area achieved the DOCG appellation in year 2014 after splitting from the Barbera d'Asti region as recognition of its peculiarities and superiority.
Thanks to a very rigid protocol and a perfect territory for the Barbera variety, here the historical daily wine takes off to the highest possible quality with worldwide growing popularity.
The Durio brothers, Alessandro and Alberto, produce Barbera Pragerolamo with a brave pruning to reduce the quantity (with heavy discussions with their father who is totally against it), manual work and no pesticides/weedkillers.
This extraordinary Barbera rests in new oak tonneaux barrels for 18 months and only 1200 bottles are produced.
Dry plum, violet flower, vanilla and sweet spices to the nose. Silky, fresh and harmonic in the mouth with very delicate tannins.
Great persistence and cellar ageing of 7-8 years at least.
PAIRING: great with any red meat and cheese.
