Di Arie 2019 Interlude Red Blend - 750ml

Barbera is the most widely planted grape in the Piemonte region of Italy.  Alba and Asti are the two growing regions in Piemonte in which the varieties and yields are regulated by the government.  Barbera grows very well in the Sierra Foothills yielding grapes that are for the most part fruitier and more aromatic than their Italian counterparts.  Our Estate Barbera vineyard was planted in 2007.

 

This wine was made in our "Submerged Cap" Fermentation Tank and aged in predominantly French oak barrels for 20 months.   This is a highly aromatic wine with intense flavors and a firm acidity.  The dark fruit aromas dominated by dark cherry and pomegranate carry to the palate. It is a well-balanced medium body wine that has a firm finish with long tannins.
