Morra Barbera d'Asti Viarengo 1990
Morra Barbera d’Asti Viarengo er en rødvin fra årgang 1990, fremstillet af producenten Viarengo. Vingården, som blev etableret i 1883, har tappet vinen under navnet G.L. Viarengo & Figlio. Vinen bærer den italienske klassifikation Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) og har en alkoholprocent på 14 %.
Vinen kommer fra Barbera d'Asti, der er et af de vigtigste områder for Barbera-druen i Piemonte. Dette område ligger primært i bakkerne omkring Asti og Alessandria i Monferrato-delen af regionen. Piemonte, hvis navn bogstaveligt talt betyder "ved bjergets fod", er placeret i det nordvestlige Italien og er omkranset af Alperne. Regionen er anerkendt som en af verdens mest prestigefyldte vinregioner med et stort fokus på terroir, og hvordan jordbund og mikroklima påvirker vinen. Landskabet er præget af dramatiske, stejle bakker, som om efteråret ofte dækkes af en tyk morgentåge, der beskytter druerne og giver dem en lang modning.
Vinen er lavet på den italienske drue Barbera. Det er en af de mest udbredte druesorter i Piemonte, hvor den udgør en stor del af den lokale produktion, men den dyrkes også i områder som Californien. I Piemonte er Barbera d'Asti en klassisk og kommercielt vigtig appellation, der understreger druens store historiske og landbrugsmæssige betydning for regionen.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Piedmont
Piedmont (which literally means "at the foot of the mountain") is located in northwestern Italy, surrounded by the Alps. It is considered one of the world's absolute most prestigious wine regions. The area is known for small, passionate, family-run wineries and a huge focus on terroir (how the soil and microclimate affect the wine).
Classic characteristics of Piedmont:
The royal wines: This is where the world-famous, complex and expensive red wines Barolo and Barbaresco come from (both made from 100% Nebbiolo).
Everyday heroes: In addition to Nebbiolo, the region is famous for the grapes Barbera (juicy, acidic and incredibly popular) and Dolcetto (dark, soft and fruity).
The white and sweet: Piedmont also makes the crisp white wine Gavi and the famous, lightly sparkling dessert bubbles Moscato d'Asti.
The landscape: Dramatic, steep hills – especially in the Langhe sub-area. The hills are often shrouded in thick morning mist in autumn, which protects the grapes and allows for a long, perfect ripening.
Gastronomy: An absolute mecca for food lovers. The area is world famous for the exclusive white truffles from Alba, hazelnuts and rich, simmered dishes that scream with a glass of local red wine.
Toen deze wijn werd gemaakt, zag de wereld er heel anders uit. Hier zijn enkele verhalen die zich ontvouwden toen deze fles rustig in de kelder rijpte.
