Marchesi di Barolo Barbera d'Alba Superiore Peiragal 2024

Marchesi di Barolo’s 2024 Barbera d’Alba Superiore Peiragal is a characterful, terroir-led red from the steep slopes that give it its name. Made entirely from Barbera, it combines the grape’s vivid berry fruit with a year of oak ageing; the historic winery has upheld Piedmont’s winemaking traditions since 1806.

Tasting Notes
Deep purple-red in the glass, with violet highlights, it opens with wild berries and morello cherry, followed by a touch of vanilla. The palate is full and enveloping, with powerful yet supple tannins and a long finish shaped by elegant woody notes. The supplied information does not specify its ageing potential. Its structure and oak influence make it a natural choice for the table, where it can be enjoyed alongside a hearty meal.

Production
The grapes come from the steep Peiragal slopes, where compact limestone and clay soils, interspersed with large stones, encourage the vines to root deeply. They are hand-harvested, destemmed and crushed, then undergo around ten days of temperature-controlled maceration with pump-overs to aid the extraction of colour and tannins. After malolactic fermentation, part of the wine matures in French oak and the remainder in Slavonian oak for a year; the blend then rests for six months in glazed cement tanks.

Food & Serving
Pair it with classic Langhe starters such as vitello tonnato, rich pasta dishes or medium-aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C to let the fruit and oak show clearly. A brief decant of about 30 minutes can help the wine open up.
