{"product_id":"barbera-d-asti-sup-docg-vignalina","title":"Barbera d’Asti sup. DOCG Vignalina","description":"\u003cp\u003eBarbera has long been considered the everyday grape variety of Piedmont — the Vignalina from Tenuta Santa Caterina shows what this grape can achieve when treated seriously. Behind the DOCG classification Superiore lie strict yield regulations and a longer minimum aging period compared to simple Barbera d'Asti — both are clearly noticeable in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, the wine opens with dark cherry and ripe blackberry, plus warm spice notes of clove and a hint of cinnamon. On the palate, it shows the full strength of Barbera: powerful and juicy, carried by the variety's typical lively acidity, which gives the wine freshness and drive despite its density. The tannins are present but round — no scratching, no pressure, but a pleasant structure that carries the long, spicy finish. Not a heavy, sluggish red wine, but one with real rhythm in the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the kitchen, it is versatile. Braised dishes suit it particularly well: lamb shoulder, ossobuco, or a hearty ragù alla Bolognese. Equally convincing with risotto with pumpkin and sage, aged Toma Piemontese, or a selection of Piedmontese salumi — Coppa, Salame di Varzi, or mortadella. Those who drink the wine on its own will find it just as convincing as a companion to a simple evening with bread, cheese, and good company. \u003cstrong\u003eServing temperature: 16–18 °C.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenuta Santa Caterina","offers":[{"title":"2022","offer_id":53562254885200,"sku":"VJ3272-2022","price":19.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/V900197-23.webp?v=1788870277","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/barbera-d-asti-sup-docg-vignalina","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
