Aeterna Barbera - VitiVinicola Valla

All the grapes come from owned vineyards, located in the municipality of Ziano Piacentino, in land
particularly favorable for exposure and microclimate.
From Barbera grapes of a particular plot, in limited and selected production, this wine is born.
The perfect marriage between the excellent position and the ten-year age of the plants
give rise to a perfectly balanced wine with great longevity.
The harvest, which takes place in the middle of September, still takes place
manually, and the grapes are selected according to the degree of ripeness and health,
to prevent external agents from altering the final product.
The grapes are de-stemmed and fermented in small concrete tanks at natural temperature
between 30 ° and 34 ° C.
Maceration lasts from 20 to 30 days, with frequent pumping over, to allow
a perfect extraction of tannins and color from the skins.
The fermentation is then followed by an aging of 12 months in concrete tanks before being
bottled, this wine jar allows a micro-exchange of Oxygen, which favors the
natural aging and refinement of wine.
After 24-36 months of bottle aging it is put on the market.
