Produced by the Carussin winery, a family business dedicated for years to sustainable viticulture, this Barbera comes from vineyards cultivated with a limited yield, about 60 quintals per hectare, to ensure a concentrated and fragrant wine. The result is a medium-bodied red, lively and harmonious, capable of combining pleasantness and typicality.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2023 vintage was characterized by balanced weather, with a warm but not excessive season and good temperature swings between day and night, ideal conditions for the ripening of Barbera. The grapes, hand-picked in small crates, showed an excellent balance between sugars and acidity, resulting in a fresh, fragrant, and particularly smooth-drinking wine.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nAfter the harvest, the Barbera grapes are spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeasts, which are naturally present on the skins, to preserve the identity of the grape variety and the territory. Maceration on the skins lasts for a few days, sufficient to extract color and softness without making the wine heavy. Aging takes place for a few months in steel tanks, a choice that maintains the intact fruit fragrance and the typical freshness of Barbera.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eBarbera d'Asti DOCG 'Asinoi' 2023 - Carussin\u003c\/strong\u003e is a young and immediate wine, but with plenty of personality.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nTo the eye, it presents a beautiful brilliant ruby red color, with violet reflections that underline its youth and vivacity.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the nose, it is pleasantly fruity: notes of cherry, blackberry, and plum emerge, accompanied by subtle floral nuances of violet and hints of sweet spices.
