Barbera dell'Oltrepò Pavese VIGNA PREDA DOC VANZINI

Barbera dell'Oltrepò Pavese DOC “Vigna Preda” from Cantina Vanzini is a red wine produced in the hills of Oltrepò Pavese, an area historically dedicated to the cultivation of Barbera. The vineyards are located on clay-limestone soils rich in marl and sandstone, in a hilly area ideal for obtaining wines of great structure and elegance. It is obtained mainly from Barbera grapes, with possible small percentages of Croatina and Rare Grapes according to local tradition. Winemaking takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for about ten days with maceration on the skins, thus extracting color, aromas and structure. The wine then continues its aging in French oak barriques for 18 months and then again in steel for another 12 months.
