Amoroso - 2011 - Stefano Bellotti

100% Barbera from century-old vines farmed biodynamically and planted on marl and limestone soils. The grapes were “passerillé” (left on the vine to dry in the sun and wind in order to concentrate the sugars in the berries) then late harvested by hand. Vinification: seven days of maceration on the skins, followed by racking, three years of maturation in barrels that have seen several wines, and finally five years of ageing in bottles at the estate. Neither fined nor filtered, and no added sulphites. 300 bottles produced. A 37.5-cl bottle.
