Wine Enthusiast "Top 100 Best Buys of 2025"
Vite Colte Description
Over 60 hectares of vineyards, carefully selected by our technicians and managed to obtain low yields, participate in the Superbarbera project. The blending of grapes from vineyards with slightly different soils and microclimates enables us to obtain a better wine with the best balance between structure and aroma.
Vinification is traditional, with 10 days' maceration at a temperature of 20-30 °C, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine spends about 12 months ageing in barriques, during which this well structured Barbera further enhances its extractive qualities and evolves into a complex and elegant wine.
Tasting Notes
COLOUR: deep ruby red.
BOUQUET: rich and deep, with a complex balance of violet, liquorice and vanilla notes.
PALATE: crisp and dry, with a subtle background of vanilla and wild berries, which carries through to its lingering finish.
Luca Maroni: 97 Points
James Suckling: 92 Points
A very attractive mix of ripe strawberries, blueberries and cherries with crushed herbs, dried flowers and spices on the nose. So refined and delicious on the palate. Silky and even with a medium to full body and lingering finish. Generous yet fresh and balanced. Drink or hold.
