WINEMAKING: the grapes come from the Roero area and from our vineyards surrounding the hamlet Torriglione, next to the winery. Barbera is the only variety to whom we systematically apply a green harvest, in order to reduce the yields. Alcoholic fermentation happens in concrete and/or stainless steel and lasts around 12-15 days. Then malolactic takes place in concrete and/or stainless steel and cold stabilization happens outdoor or in conditioned steel tanks. After stabilization, the wine ages for some months in concrete, steel and plastic, before being bottled, usually in April-May of the year after the harvest.
DESCRIPTION: our Barbera is not smoothed by any oak aging and henceforth it is characterized by a bright acidity and a pretty high level of alcohol, if compared to the other Trediberri wines. This wine shows a full body and highlights a fruity character, rather than elegance and finesse. Its perfect pairing is the traditional Bollito misto (boiled veal platter).
Producer: Trediberri
Berri is a small village in the westernmost part of La Morra, close to the Tanaro river and therefore in the far west of the Barolo area. There, in 2007, Nicola , his father Federico and his friend Vladimiro purchase 5 hectares for the exclusive production of Barolo. The Trediberriwinery , or the "three of Berri", was born. On the market since 2011, today we vinify 8 hectares of vineyards: in addition to the 5 hectares in the Berri mention, we own approximately 2 hectares in the mentions
Rocche dell'Annunziata and Torriglione - where we produce Barolo, Barbera and Sauvignon Blanc - and we rent about one hectare of Nebbiolo in Barolo in the Capalotmentionalso in La Morra. We are a family winery, artisan and very young, without coats of arms with rampant horses and flags spread out. We have no history, but that's fine with us: talking about the present, through our wines.
“PHILOSOPHY” We like to drink wine and for this reason the greatest recognition is the bottle that ends quickly. But our idea of drinkability does not coincide with simplicity, but with balance. There are extremely alcoholic and structured and at the same time pleasant wines or, on the contrary, wines with low alcohol content, but cloying. The bottle that finishes first is always the most balanced wine, in which the various components interact with each other in a complete way. For this reason we don't have and we don't like dogmas and protocols: we usually vinify in cement, but we also love wood or steel according to the vintages and the grape variety; we macerate for more or less days; we refine for more or less time ... all to try to offer wines that are as drinkable and balanced as possible.
