La Stoppa Camporomano 2012

100% Barbera. From 25-45-year-old estate vines on a slope on stony clay-limestone soils. The fruit is organically farmed and harvested by hand. It is destemmed and fermented with native yeasts and no sulfur in tank; maceration with the skins is for 30 days.  Super high ABV at 15.5%, but you can barely feel it.  Amazingly, this is the most light on it's feet wine we have ever had with this amount of alcohol.  So intensely classy, ripe and ethereal.
