Elio Perrone, Barbera D'Asti Sup. Mongovone, 2022

Elio Perrone’s Barbera d’Asti Superiore Mongovone is a striking expression of Barbera at its most complete: generous, structured, and full of character. Sourced from a remarkable old vineyard on the border of Langhe and Monferrato, it combines depth of fruit with refined energy and a historical sense of place that gives the wine real distinction.

Tasting Notes
Deep and vibrant in the glass, this Barbera offers an intense bouquet that rises gracefully without overpowering the senses. Aromas of ripe red fruit such as raspberry and strawberry are joined by darker notes of plum and blackberry, creating a layered and inviting nose. On the palate, it delivers impressive volume and plenty of juicy fruit, balanced by a strong structural frame that keeps everything in check. Charm and intensity go hand in hand here, and while it is already highly appealing, the wine has the concentration and backbone to develop further with time in bottle.

Production
Mongovone comes from a truly special vineyard in the commune of Isola d’Asti, discovered and purchased by the Perrone family in 2000. The vines were planted in 1932, and the site’s unique position between Langhe and Monferrato, together with limestone-rich, fertile soils, contributes to the wine’s complexity and depth. The grapes are hand-harvested in October in small baskets at optimal ripeness, then the wine is fermented and matured for 12 months in French oak before being bottled in 1-liter format.

Food & Serving
This is a Barbera made for bold food, and it pairs beautifully with grilled meats, especially a large cut of beef or other richly flavored barbecue dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if you want the aromas to open up fully and the structure to soften slightly.

Producer
Elio Perrone is a respected family producer in Piemonte, known for wines that highlight both tradition and precision. With a strong connection to the Barbera grape and the distinctive terroirs of Asti, the estate has earned recognition for crafting wines with clarity, personality, and authenticity. Mongovone stands as one of its most distinctive and celebrated bottlings.
