Barbera d'Asti 'Tasmorcan' Magnum Elio Perrone 2022

This Barbera d'Asti Magnum "Tasmorcan" is a wine conceived and designed by Elio Perrone to tell the fruity and exuberant notes of the grape of departure, the Barbera. Elegance, style and measure lend themselves well in describing this label, where aromas and tastes move with the lightness of simplicity. A bottle that does not want to bind itself to clichés, not even to aesthetic ones, and is therefore presented with a bottle with a very particular silhouette. Cheeses and cured meats, along with traditional Piedmontese stuffed pasta and red and white meat main courses, are the pairings that testify to the great versatility of this Barbera.

"Tasmorcan" Magnum comes from those young vineyards near Isola d'Asti, specifically in the hamlet of Mongovone. After the grapes are crushed, they must ferment in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Subsequent ageing takes two paths: 70 percent of the mass matures in 25-hectoliter oak barrels, while the remaining 30 percent ages in French oak barriques for a total of 4 months. Finally, the Elio Perrone winery team proceeds with bottling in the early spring following the harvest.

"Tasmorcan" Magnum Barbera d'Asti reveals itself to the eye with a ruby colour, concentrated and endowed with a beautiful intensity. The nose is enveloped in a texture of mainly fruity scents, enriched by a slight spiciness from which oriental references emerge. It is medium-bodied on the palate, with a complete and rounded sip characterized by a fresh taste of beautiful intensity. A free, expressive and smiling bottle that fully reflects Elio Perrone's production philosophy. An extraordinary magnum size!
