Ricossa Barbaresco 2018

Barbaresco DOCG is a majestic and elegant wine produced by the Ricossa family, which follows an aging period of three years, one of which in French oak and two in stainless steel tanks.

A glass that has a garnet red color with traditional orange reflections. An intense aroma of coffee, licorice and spices, among which the aroma of vanilla stands out, create a captivating bouquet on the nose.

On the palate it is bursting, the tannins are balanced and the flavor that lingers in the mouth is unique, soft and persistent for a long time. An important red that can certainly best represent the Piedmontese territory.

Exceptional in combination with first courses seasoned with meat sauce or mushrooms, fondues, red meats, game and medium-aged cheeses. If you are a lover of good wine, this will certainly be for you. 

 The Producer

The estate is located in the village of Castel Boglione located in the alto Monferrato area, halfway between the town of Acqui Terme and Nizza Monferrato.

The property consists of 80 Ha of which 74 are dedicated to vine cultivation. The dedicated selection, Noceto Dietro il Monte, is located in the southern sector of the Nizza production area sitting at 450 meters above sea level.

This is considered one of the finest positions for sun exposure as it sits on the southern side of the valley, positioned in one of the two deep amphitheater like settings. Below the estate you find the Bogliona stream, which offers a steady supply of water to the surrounding soil. The soil consists of silt and marl as well as clay in some areas. The
unique powder like consistency gives the possibility for good drainage of excess water as well as holding it deep in the soil as a reserve for dry periods.
