Alivio

The 2007 vintage can be considered as “special” in terms of the general weather, that started with a particularly smooth mild winter, followed by an early spring that generated the expectation of a very hot a summer.

In contrast with the expectations, the summer has been slightly cooler than normal, so the ripening of the grapes continued in a very favorable environment. At the time of harvest the grapes were perfect in appearance and ripening, offering great satisfaction and gratification to the winemaker, even though the scarce rainfalls have determined a lower volume of grapes and wine production.

The ideal weather conditions that happened in 2009 with mild temperatures through the vintage and the scares, but frequent rains allowed the plants to work with continuous stimuli that have brought a high sugar concentration and, consequently, outstanding wines of notable structure, color and aromas.

The Alivio Barbaresco Riserva 2007 has a varied bouquet, with fragrant notes reminiscent of goudron, red fruits, tropical fruits and green vegetables.
