Zerella La Gita Barbera 2024

Deep crimson in colour, with perfumed aromas of blood plum and dried spring herbs. The palate is fresh and vibrant, medium to full-bodied with great energy and balance. Delicious now, with potential to reward medium-term cellaring.

Hand-picked fruit was destemmed with 10% whole bunch inclusion, then cold soaked for five days before a natural, long, and slow fermentation on skins. The wine was gently pressed to 30% new French oak barrels for 15 months of maturation on lees. It was blended and bottled without filtration to preserve purity and texture.
