Colle Manora established in 1981 is a 100ha estate in Monferrato, Piemonte with 20ha of vines which form an amphitheater of vineyards flanked on both sides by woods. This perfect setting enhanced by the biodiversity of their land gives life to their classic wines. Mimosa is made from Sauvignon grapes, which were planted some 20 years ago when international varieties were brought to Piedmont.

The Barbera d’Asti Superiore 2017 is a classic example of Barbera from one of the best areas in Monferrato. It is handpicked at perfect maturity and macerates on the skins for 13 to 15 days after which it matures in barrique to give it the perfect balance in body, structure and intensity. The outcome is a classy Barbera that embodies the true nature of elegance and subtle power. It is stylish and opens out to express spicy notes mingled with, delicate violet, juicy cherry and small dark berry undertones. The combination of its fruity quality backed by vibrant acidity and silky tannins allows for a focused lingering finish.

Excellent value wine.
