Barbera d’Alba Vigna Gabutti – Cappellano – 2020

The wine Barbera d’Alba Vigna Gabutti by Cappellano

The Barbera Vigna Gabutti of the Cappellano winery comes from 100% Barbera grapes grown in the historic Gabutti vineyard (from which the wine takes its name) in the municipality of Serralunga d’Alba. These vineyards owned by the winery are located about 300 meters above sea level. Barbera is, together with Barolo Pie Rupestris, one of the flagships of the world-famous winery.

THE WINEMAKING

After the manual harvest, only the carefully selected grapes are taken to the cellar for winemaking, which begins with the destemming. Subsequently, the must ferments for at least 20 days in cement tanks with the sole help of indigenous yeasts. The refinement of the wine, which is not filtered, takes place in large oak barrels and lasts about 20 months. After blending and bottling, the wine rests in the cellar before being placed on the market.
