Red
Barbera del Monferrato
By Cantina Sant'Evasio, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
A lightly effervescent Barbera del Monferrato, similar in style to the estate's Barbera d'Asti but for its natural sparkle.
Tasting notes
Ruby red colour. Vinous, fruity bouquet. Lively, dry, medium-structured palate.
Pairs well with
Good through a whole meal, especially first courses with pulses, risottos, meat second courses and fresh or medium-aged cheeses.

- Destemmed and crushed, pumped into thermo-controlled tanks with selected yeasts for alcoholic fermentation. After devatting and a racking, natural malolactic fermentation follows for de-acidification, then further rackings for clarity; a second fermentation in autoclave, from residual sugar, gives the wine its light natural effervescence.
