The vines have been planted in 2008, characterized by a very high density of plantation: 8000 vines per hectare. The aim is to reduce the yield per plant in order to achieve a better ripening of the grapes, organically farmed with North-West exposure. Plaustra is the name of the small valley behind the winery, derived from the Latin \u003ci data-index-in-node=\"96\" data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0\"\u003eplaustrum\u003c\/i\u003e, meaning agricultural cart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes are manually harvested and after de-stemming and crashing, fermentation starts in stainless steel tanks and lasts about 7 days with daily manual pump-over and malolactic fermentation. The wine is then refined in concrete for several months. Refinement in concrete allows our barbera to reach a good level of balance and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,6,0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eDeep ruby red with purple hues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn the nose \u003c\/strong\u003eexpressive and high-toned.
