Cascina Radice Caporala Barbera D'Asti

The vineyards are located in the Moasca and Agliano Terme areas, Asti with soil dominated by chalk and clay. Once picked, grapes undergo traditional maceration over 12 days, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the flavour profile of the fruit. The wine is aged for 8 months in steel tanks before bottling.

Deep intense ruby in colour with heavy fruit aromas on the nose;blackberry, blackcurrant and plums and a hint of white pepper. This reflects on the palate alongside hints of spice. A very elegant wine with balanced tannins and a long finish. Try with beef stew, grilled meats, mushroom dishes or pork belly. 

Roberto and Andreas Mazzei took on Cascina Radice winery in the 90s. The property dates back to the 1890s and is surrounded by the hilly countryside in the small town of Moasca. The pair have worked tirelessly to modernise production without compromising on the passion and care required to maintain the vineyards.
