Información sobre este vino:
Barbera d’Alba Ferdinando Principiano is a red wine from the winery Ferdinando Principiano, in Piedmont, embodying that rare virtue of wines that seem to speak in a low voice yet leave a clear, precise and elegant mark. Its style moves between rustic authenticity and a fineness that’s almost aristocratic, as if the Barbera—so frank and earthy by nature—had learned to dress in silk without ever giving up its muddy boots.
In this interpretation of Barbera d’Alba, the grape’s energy is expressed with vibrant juiciness, a freshness that clears the palate, and a crisp personality, without unnecessary embellishments. The Ferdinando Principiano winery signs a wine with an honest character—those that don’t need to raise their voice to make themselves heard; its charm lies in precision, in well-defined fruit, and in a sense of serene depth. The aging classification is Medium Aging, and the whole comes across as a red with a friendly texture, yet with enough backbone to pair with the table with true distinction.
It suggests the countryside, stone, and ripe fruit in delicate balance, with a definition that calls to mind the best Langa tradition: restrained, polished, and with that touch of noble rusticity that makes great Piedmont wines irresistible.

Bright, clean, and lively ruby red color, with reflections that suggest youth and a certain elegant transparency.
Intense and frank nose, with cherry, violets, and delicate floral nuances, accompanied by juicy red fruit and a subtly mineral background.
On the palate it’s smooth, fresh, and fruity, with a pleasant acidity that awakens the palate and gives it momentum. It is harmonious, with a kind touch, and a mouthwatering sensation that’s held in check, with a correct persistence that leaves a clean, appealing impression.
Medium body, with a smooth presence yet sufficiently structured to support the fruit and freshness with poise.
Well-balanced structure, with soft tannins and an acidity that’s well integrated, providing tension without making the wine feel harsh.
Fresh, clean finish with good persistence, with a fruity echo and a discreet elegance that invites another sip.
From the Langhe, Piedmont, in the Barbera d’Alba area, where Barbera finds a particularly noble and precise expression. Vineyards are typically planted in well-ventilated plots with good exposure, which favors full grape ripening and preserves its natural freshness.
Made with 100% Barbera, with careful fermentation and a brief or moderate aging in stainless steel, aimed at preserving aromatic purity and the fruit’s liveliness. The philosophy of the winery Ferdinando Principiano leans toward restrained interventions, seeking transparency, authenticity, and an expression as raw—or naked—as possible of the vineyard.
Serve between 16 and 18 ºC.
