Description
The Barbera d'Alba Frere DOC comes from the Frere vineyard of the same name, located in the municipality of Treiso. The vineyard is located at an altitude of 300 metres with a westerly orientation. The Barbera grapes are harvested between the end of September and the first week of October. Once in the winery, the stems are removed from the grapes and the grapes are pressed. The maceration and alcoholic fermentation last for about ten days at a temperature of 27 to 29°C. The wine then remains in contact with its lees for at least two months at a temperature of 20-22°C so that the malolactic fermentation can take place in peace. The wine is then left to rest for 3 to 4 months at a low temperature to facilitate the deposition of the cloudiness and clarification and finally, in the summer following the harvest, the Barbera d'Alba DOC Frere is bottled and after a few months of storage in the cellars it is ready to be marketed.
In the glass, the Barbera d'Alba Frere has a fresh ruby red color. In the nose the wine is fruity, intense with hints of cinnamon and cloves and in the mouth this medium bodied wine is smooth, soft, fruity with a balanced acidity and an unexpectedly long lasting aftertaste. The Frere Barbera is the youngest, freshest, fruitiest barbera from the Monairiabaldi collection. Fruit dominated and not too heavy. A beautiful glass of red with Italian elegance.
The 'azienda agricola Montaribaldi' is a family business, located in the middle of the Langhe hills in the small village of Barbaresco. The grapes of Montaribaldi grow between the vineyards of Angelo Gaja's famous winery. Not the least to have as neighbors. The owners of the Montaribaldi winery, the brothers Luciano and Roberto Taliano consider themselves lucky with their plots of land, which are spread out in the Langhe and Monferrato hills. Wine has been made here for centuries and even Unesco appreciates the interplay between man and nature by recently including this region in the prestigious World Heritage List. Although the Montaribaldi winery has existed for much longer, the brothers have not been active in wine terms for that long, since 1994. But together with winemaker Carlo Arnulfo they are already making beautiful Piemonte wines with a great price/quality ratio.
The family produces some of the most famous wines from the Piedmont region: Barbaresco DOCG, Barolo DOCG, Barbera d'Alba DOC, Barbera d'Asti DOCG, Roero Arneis. They offer a complete range of wines, from grapes that are typical of this region. Typical for this winery is that the wines have their origins in Piedmont, are always recognizable as a 'Montaribaldi' wine and are grown and produced sustainably. As they call it themselves: making 'vineyard wines' sets them apart from others.
The Barbera grape is known for its high acidity and used to be the wine of the people because of the large harvest and wide applicability. Times have changed and Barbera wines have made a big leap in quality. This Barbera from Montaribaldi comes from older vines from the vineyard called Dü Gir. By maturing the wine in new wooden barrique barrels for a year, a beautiful balance is created between the typical fresh Barbera acidity and round tannins of the oak. The Talianos then let the bottles rest for another eight months in their cellar before this wine is sold. In this you can taste the love for making wine and this quality makes the Barbera Frere unbeatable, certainly for this price.

The 'azienda agricola Montaribaldi' is historically a family business, located in the middle of the Langhe hills in the small village of Barbaresco. The Montaribaldi winery has been owned by the Taliano family from the beginning and has 19 hectares in the Barberesco area. In 1994 Luciano and Roberto took over the company from their father and immediately decided to only produce high quality wines. It is still a real family business, father Guiseppe and mother Carla as well as the wives of the owners, Antonella and Franca all cooperate. At present they produce about 75000 bottles a year. Thanks to the perfect location of the vineyards of Montaribaldi and the typical white soil of the hills in Langhe, the elegant wines that come from them have a long life. Note that the land around the Montaribaldi vineyards is from Gaja. The family makes some of the most famous wines from the Piedmont region: Barbaresco DOCG, Barolo DOCG, Barbera d'Alba DOC, Barbera d'Asti DOCG, Roero Arneis.
