Demarie Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC 2021

This vibrant, expressive Barbera is a brilliant ruby that tends to become garnet with age, and presents an intense fruity bouquet of ripe cherries, blackberries, prune, mulberry and a touch of violet. The palate is lively and full-bodied, offering rich flavors of dark fruit, balanced by a refreshing acidity and subtle hints of spice. The wine's structure is enhanced by smooth tannins, leading to a long and juicy finish with just the right amount of oak influence.

The 2021 Demarie Barbera d'Alba Superiore hails from the rolling hills of the Piedmont region, where the Barbera grape thrives. The wine is made from select Barbera grapes harvested by hand and undergoes fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its freshness and vibrant fruit character. After fermentation, it is aged for 12 months in a combination of French oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks, which helps to enhance its complexity and structure. This wine is a true expression of the Barbera grape, with balance, richness, and a touch of elegance that make it a standout from the region.

The Demarie family has been producing wine in the heart of Piedmont for generations (stretching back to the late 1800s), with a deep commitment to the region’s rich winemaking traditions. Their estate vineyards, located in some of the most coveted areas of Langhe, are farmed organically and carefully managed to produce wines that reflect the terroir. Demarie’s approach combines modern winemaking techniques with respect for the traditional methods of the region. With a focus on quality and sustainability, Demarie crafts wines that express the true character of Piedmont, with a particular emphasis on Barbera, Nebbiolo and Dolcetto.
