Description

Rocks of the Saint.

A wine that is an expression of concentration. An impenetrable purple color and an enveloping sensation in the mouth. Its characteristic acidity is balanced by the brief aging in wood, obtaining a balance and a character that is all to be discovered.

This red wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, namely Barbera. Only flawless grapes were harvested for this exceptionally powerful single-varietal wine from Brandini. After the harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. At the end of fermentation, the Rocche del Santo Barbera d'Alba Superiore can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for a few months.

The powerful Rocche del Santo Barbera d'Alba Superiore from Brandini flows into the glass with a dense ruby red color. When the glass is swirled, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, which can be seen in stained glass windows at the edge of the glass. This single-varietal Italian wine reveals wonderfully fragrant notes of blackcurrants and blackberries in the glass. There are also hints of liquorice and cocoa.

The Brandini Rocche del Santo Barbera d'Alba Superiore impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with just 1.2 grams of residual sugar. This is a genuine quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so, despite its dryness, this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance. Excellent taste does not necessarily require a lot of sugar. This dense red wine is full-bodied and multi-faceted on the palate. Thanks to its lively fruit acidity, the Rocche del Santo Barbera d'Alba Superiore is wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate. The finish of this youthful red wine from the Piedmont wine-growing region, Barbera d'Alba DOC to be precise, ultimately delights with a remarkable aftertaste.
