GARBOSO Colour Bouquet Taste Consumption |
| Vines 100% Barbera, Garbosa is produced from the grapes of historic vines (up to 50 years old) and from recently installed plantations. Terrain 5 hectares of mainly clayey-sandy land, facing mainly East/South-East, located in Mairano di Casteggio and San Biagio di Casteggio at an altitude between 150 and 200 metres above sea-level. Cultivation Cultivation is implemented with no trace whatever of antibotritics or synthetic products and soil treatment is restricted to the indispensable. When installing the new plantations, during the planting of the seedlings, 'attinomiceti' i.e. natural funguses were employed to protect the young roots from disease. The Guyot cultivation method is used to guarantee maximum qualitative uniformity. The yield per hectare amounts to 800 kilos of grapes, from an average 5000 stems. Harvest Harvesting is carried out entirely hand, if necessary together with meticulous sorting of the bunches. During the picking phase, dry ice is used to protect the grapes from oxidisation and to avoid temperature upswings. |
Vinification Maceration lasts for 5 days at a maximum 28°C, with frequent re-mixings during the first 3 days. Refining Once the malolactic fermentation has taken place, the wine is refined in stainless steel tanks, air-conditioned at 15°C, for 12 months. Bottling Maximum, anti-oxygen protection is ensured during the bottling phase. After a final, rigorous, quality control, and at least 12 months after bottling, the wine is placed on sale. Storage Storage takes place in a specifically appointed warehouse, air-conditioned, at a constant 15°C. |
