The Barbera grapes were grown on southwest-facing slopes in the Monferrato hills, at 250-400m altitude. Soils here are clay and limestone. Following the traditional passito technique - a portion of ripe Barbera grapes (around 20%), left on the vine for nearly a month after the main harvest to sun dry, were blended with fresh Barbera grapes before fermentation. This sweetens, enriches and softens the resulting acidity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTasting notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA fleshy and juicy red with aromas of sweet ripe plums and cherries. The palate shows ripe fruit-forward characters of cherry and wild plum and the ripe rounded finish is balanced by fresh bramble acidity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFood match\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA good match for roast poultry or game, or rich stews and pasta dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Regional Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56170953736497,"sku":"FR994951","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1968\/6329\/files\/IAR0033.png?v=1788822583","url":"https:\/\/www.regionalwines.co.nz\/products\/fazzoletto-barbera-passito-piemonte-doc-2024","provider":"Regional Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
