Winery & Vintage Info
Winemaking Notes
Pizzini King Valley Barbera 2022 is machine picked and fermented with BM45 yeast — famous in Tuscany — with fermentation temperatures initially reaching and maintained at 30°C to extract flavours from the grapes, before being cooled to 23°C to retain fresh fruit characters and reduce tannin extraction. Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, the free run juice is drained and the skins lightly pressed, settled for a day, then transferred to barrels for malolactic fermentation and 12 months of barrel ageing before blending, fining and bottling. 12.5% alc. 750ml.
