GRAPE: 100% Barbera. VINEYARD: Pensumje is produced from grapes grown in vineyards with optimum southwest exposure, located 320 metres above sea level in the borough of Castelboglione, Piedmont. The low Guyot training system is used, with approximately 5.500 vines per Hectare. The vineyard was planted in 1942. PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY: The bunches of grapes are cut throughout the entire vegetative cycle of the vine, bringing the grape yield per hectare down to 4.000 kilos. The slightly late harvest takes place in two stages and the grapes are then crushed and undergo temperature controlled, submerged cap fermentation for al least 25 days. The wine is drawn off and malo-lactic fermentation is completed in wooden barriques, where the wine remains for 13 months. After bottling, a yearlong period of refinement takes place before the wine is released. ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS: Pensumje is a deep ruby red wine with a slightly bluish tinge. Light notes of vanilla and spices accompany the typical Barbera aromas: plum, blackberry and almond. A well defined, harmonious body, soft and pervasive with a complexity which improves with age. |
