Tasting note
Monbirone is the most famous hill in the municipality of Canale, capital of Roero and seat of the Azienda Monchiero Carbone. Francesco Monchiero's vineyards are located around the top of Monbirone. The Barbera vine grows particularly well on its clay and calcareous soils. The harvest usually takes place in the first half of October. The vinification takes two to three weeks and the aging in barriques takes 15 to 20 months. Francesco Monchiero describes the wine as follows: “On the nose, MonbirOne smells of coffee, cocoa, juniper berries, plums and plums. The wine tastes rich, soft and balanced thanks to sufficient acidity. The finale is fresh and long.” And we would add: “... with an almost beguiling, juicy melt.”
Culinary recommendation
Ideal with grilled meat, game dishes or aged cheese.
Vinification
The grapes come from the MonbirOne vineyard in the municipality of Canale. After harvesting, traditional red winemaking takes place with gentle grape pressing and fermentation at a controlled temperature. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 15-20 months.
