Chionetti Barbera d'Alba Vigna San Sebastiano

Barbera d'Alba DOC Vigna San Sebastiano is a remarkable wine from the prestigious Piedmont region of Italy. This wine is produced by Azienda Chionetti, a family business known for its commitment to quality and tradition in viticulture since 1912. Under the current leadership of Nicola Chionetti, the winery combines traditional methods with modern techniques to create wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region.

The San Sebastiano vineyard, where the grapes for this wine are grown, is conveniently located on the hills surrounding Alba. The soil in this region consists mainly of limestone and clay, which contributes to the complexity and structure of the wine. The Barbera grapes are harvested by hand, so that only the best grapes are selected for vinification. This careful selection and optimal growing conditions contribute to the high quality of the Vigna San Sebastiano.

The Barbera d'Alba DOC Vigna San Sebastiano has a deep ruby ​​red color, which reflects the intensity of the wine. The aroma is rich and complex, with pronounced notes of ripe red fruit such as cherries and blackberries, supplemented with hints of violets, herbs and a subtle hint of oak due to the aging in barrels. On tasting, the wine offers vibrant acidity and supple tannins, providing a balanced and elegant structure. The taste is full and concentrated, with layers of fruit and a pleasant spiciness that lead to a long and refined aftertaste.
