Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from grapes, with out any other additions of enzymes, sugars, etc. Wines can be classified by the method they were produced. If the grapes are macerated with the skins, the wine will be red. It will be white, if the grapes are macerated without the skins (all grape juice is clear in color), and rose if there was a limited skins contact. If the wine contains carbon dioxide (either as a result of natural fermentation, or addition of CO2 to the bottle), it can be classified as a sparkling wine. Some wine producers choose to grow their grapes sustainably, or organically, and therefore their wines can carry a sustainable or organic label on the bottle. If the process of fermentation was stopped before all the sugars in the grapes are converted to alcohol, the wines can be classified as dessert. Some fortified wines also fit in that category.

Harvest is conducted by hand and grapes are carefully sorted on tables and destemmed before being placed in stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Regular pumping-over ensure a gentle extraction of the tannins. After malolactic fermentation, 50% of the wine is transferred into French oak barrels for a period of 12 months, and 50% is placed in concrete vats. Deep velvety red color with intense ruby hues. Very fruity and fresh on the nose, followed by aromas of red fruit, strawberry and black currant. On the palate, the wine is long, well balanced and pleasant, with refined tannins and generous aromas of red berries.

Beloved for flavorful red wines, Alba is an epicurean’s dream. The historic walled town at its heart is where growers from throughout the Piedmont region would once go to sell their produce to winemakers and négociants following the harvest, but today it is better recognized as one of Italy’s premiere culinary destinations. Sandwiched between Barolo and Barbaresco, the best vineyards, located atop sunny, south-facing hills, are planted with NebbioloBeloved for flavorful red wines, Alba is an epicurean’s dream.
