Peiragal is an old Piedmontese dialect term, which identifies hills of good slope made up of large formations of very compact calcareous clay soil, with large stones. These conditions limit the absorption of rain and favour a very deep rooting of the vines, in search of humidity. The result is the production of sparse bunches and, therefore, a very structured wine, with sweet tannins, never too evident. This is the case of this Barbera d'Alba DOC proposed by Marchesi di Barolo, matured for a year in small 225-litre French oak barrels. The contribution of the wood adds a light woody note that joins the already wide range of scents and flavours, increasing its complexity. An intense sensation of pleasantness, balance and harmony that accompanies our senses for a long time. Ruby red in colour with bright, intense garnet edges, the bouquet is fresh and lively, with a clear hint of blackcurrants, berries, toasted hazelnuts and vanilla. Immediately pleasant, the taste is elegant, with soft, enveloping tannins. It is a local red wine and goes well with typical Langhe hors d'oeuvres, such as vitello tonnato and the classic vegetable flan. It is also perfect with richly seasoned first courses and meat dishes. It is also good with classic Piedmontese tome cheese and, more generally, with medium-aged hard cheeses.
