Langhe Barbera "Robur Vitae" 2019 Luigi Vico
"Luigi Vico's 'Robour Vitae' 2019 is a classic Barbera: a living vine, with great personality, that loves sunlight. Barbera is woman, the same woman depicted in the drawing on the label. The pure vine comes from the commune of Grinzane Cavour, from 25-30 year old vines facing south-southeast, on sandstone soil with calcareous marly veins.
The best grapes are selected in the vineyard, fermentation takes place with maceration on the skins for about 15 days in stainless steel containers, followed by malolactic fermentation in November. Subsequent ageing takes place half in 10 Hl French oak barrels and 50% in 500 l tonneaux for about 10 months.
Luigi Vico's Barbera Robour Vitae 2019 expresses an intense ruby red colour with purple hues to the eye, while the nose expresses aromas of ripe fruit and spices. The sip is pleasantly fresh with light tannins and good persistence.
