Viticulture
Unique in Piemonte, the Camerano family chose to plant Barbera at the crest of their estate, rather than the base of the slope. The excellent altitude and exposure of the vineyards leads to an elegant, complex, highly structured wine. As with the other Camerano wines, organic practices are used in the vineyards, and all grapes are hand harvested.
Altitude
400 metros.
Soil Type
Arcilloso.
Vinification
The vinification of Camerano's Barbera is very similar to that of Barolo. The grapes are harvested in the early days of October, with the exact timing dependent on the vintage. The wine macerates on the skins for about 20-25 days, and then ages in old oak barrels for 24 months before bottling.
Notas de Degustación
Un vino de cuerpo medio con notas de cerezas y fresas firmes y aciditas. Tiene taninos ligeros y una acidez muy refrescante. Es un vino que se bebe muy fácilmente, especialmente acompañando buena comida.
Maridaje
El clásico Tajarin Piemontés con trufa, con conejo braseado o con un lomo de cerdo al horno.
