Bisi SENZAAIUTO - Barbera Provincia di Pavia Igt (no added sulfites) 2019

Vintage: 2019

Grape variety: Barbera

Training system: Guyot. 

Plant density per hectare: 5,700 vines.

Harvest: hand-picked into 18 kg crates. 

Soil: The vineyards are located on silty-calcareous soils in the municipality of San Damiano al Colle, at an altitude of 160 m above sea level, with a southeast exposure. The soil is managed with spontaneous grass cover; no herbicides and/or desiccants are used. Farming practices are carried out by hand, from pruning to harvest, with machinery limited to pest-control treatments and mowing the grass. At the end of July, the bunches are thinned to bring the grape yield per vine to 1 kg. 

Winemaking: the grapes were destemmed and left to macerate on the skins for 60 days. Fermentation is spontaneous and relies solely on indigenous yeasts. Gentle punch-downs (breaking up and submerging the pomace in the must) were carried out by hand each day. The wine rested on its own lees in stainless steel tanks for maturation and natural clarification. It underwent no winemaking practices intended to alter its original characteristics: nothing was removed. It was neither filtered nor clarified, and underwent no forced stabilization. Nothing was added: no synthetic sulfites or other processing aids or additives. 

Tasting notes: produced in this way, the wine expresses the most authentic characteristics of its place of origin and the fruit from which it is made; it reflects the vintage and the person who makes it.

We recommend opening the bottle some time before drinking to fully appreciate all its qualities.

Contains sulfites.
