Ghiomo Ruit Hora, Piedmont, Italy 2019

The Barbera Ruit-Hora di Ghiomo is a full-bodied and flavorful wine made with 90% Barbera and 10% Nebbiolo grapes carefully selected from the vineyard, with rigorous attention to reducing the load on each vine to only one cluster per shoot.

Giuseppino Anfossi, a true artisan winemaker, personally oversees the entire winemaking process in the cellar. After fermentation, the wine is aged in exhausted and vaporized oak barrels for 14 months, followed by 3 months in stainless steel and 6 months in the bottle.

Ruit-Hora is a wine full of flavor and vitality, with notes of red fruits, cocoa, and dried flowers on the nose. On the palate, it reveals a moderate tannic structure, splendid creaminess, and a soft finish with hints of vanilla.

The persistence is remarkable.

PAIRING: This wine complements the entire meal and pairs exceptionally well with slow-cooked red meats such as stews and roasts
