Tenuta La Meridiana is a family estate founded in 1890 in Montegrosso d'Asti, in the heart of Barbera country.

As a Superiore, it must age at least 14 months, six of them in wood.
Vinoteka's note
Barbera from the Sereno hill, the highest and sunniest on a family estate farmed since 1890 in Montegrosso d'Asti. A 72-hour cold soak, a year in older French barriques and a year in bottle. Violet with garnet hues; intense cherry and berries with vanilla and spice; full-bodied, with lively acidity, a distinctive mineral note, soft tannins and a long red-fruit finish. Serve at 16–18 °C with roasts, aged cheese or polenta with venison; it keeps 15 years.
