Bera

Neviglie - Piedmont | Ricardo Bera

SUSTAINABLE

The vineyard has been the heart of the philosophy at Bera since the first generation began tending the rolling hills of Neviglie just south of Barbaresco township in the 50’s. Now the estate owns just over 30 hectares of prime growing land around the communes of Neviglie, Neive and Barbaresco, with the incredible new addition of perhaps the most revered vineyard in all of Barbaresco; Rabaja. Whilst the estate’s flagship has always been their delicately fragrant and extremely energetic Moscato, today the younger generation – Riccardo and Umberto – look towards their future as custodians of some of Piedmont’s great- est areas for the production of very fine Nebbiolo.

In the winery the production remains simple, honest and traditionalist Piemontese; long macerations, large neutral oak and minimal intervention, with the aim of expressing the earth and the air of the Langhe in every one of the wines produced here. Production remains consistent at around 10,000 cases per year, with the majority being Moscato d’Asti whilst the red wines are produced from single botti, each holding around one hectare’s worth of juice per wine per vintage Long macerations, large neutral oak and minimal intervention, with the aim of expressing the earth and the air of the Langhe in every one of the wines produced here.

2021 BERA MOSCATO D’ASTI – PIEDMONT, ITL

Yellow straw colour in a range of shades. Perfume: rich aroma that keeps the fragrance of the Moscato grapes, mixed with a slight scent of yeast and flowers. Lovely, sweet flavour harmoniously balanced with acidity and a moderate percentage of alcohol, brightened by delicate froth. Serve chilled, centigrade with desserts, pastry, as an aperitif, as a thirst quencher any time of the day, especially when it is time to celebrate.

2021 BERA BARBERA D’ALBA - PIEDMONT, ITL

Once the grapes arrive at the vinery, they are put through the destemmer and the crusher, then they are fermented for a week at a temperature of 25°-30° C. After racking and decanting, the wine is placed into tanks till the arrival of the summer. In the meantime, the malolactic fermentation is occurring. At the end, the wine is bottled for 6 months for “bottle ageing”. A good structured wine with great harmony and a long finish. It has a deep ruby red colour with garnet red tinges, intense fruity fragrances of currant and blackberry, supported by a hint of vanilla. It is dry with pleasantly acidity. Its great flavour combines well with salami, roasted and boiled red meat and well-aged cheese

2019 BERA BARBARESCO ‘SERRABOELLA’ - PIEDMONT, ITL

Since its inaugural 2016 harvest, the Serraboella Barbaresco has given Riccardo and Umberto impetus to produce a Nebbiolo that is so different from every other Nebbiolo they make. Though fruit from Serraboella still makes up about 50% of Bera’s classico Barbaresco, it has found its own voice here. 100% Nebbiolo from Ber’s small holding on the Serraboella vineyard, located East of Neive, Barbaresco. The vineyard grows on limestone and clay, over blue marl, at some 250-270 meters above sea level. The must spends 20 days or so on skins. Once malolactic conversion is complete, the wine is aged in large oak barrels for 24 months. It’s aged in bottle for 12 months before release. A more rustic style, made up of red apple skins and cherry. Some raspberry and cherry ripe characters hinting to a tart, savoury palate, complemented by dusty, drying tannins. The finish has attractive herbal notes adding complexity.

2018 BERA BAROLO - PIEDMONT, ITL

Here’s an elegant, austere Barolo cultivated in Casstiglione Falletto, Made in true Langa tradition.

2021 Bera 'Mio Vino' Langhe Nebbiolo - Neviglie, Piedmont

Winemaking: The fruit grows on East and West facing slopes composed of calcareous clay soil. The grapes are hand harvested and carefully selected. Once destemmed and pressed, the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks. It’s left on skins for up to 10 days, depending on the wine, to allow gentle extraction of tannin, varietal characters, and colour, while fermentation takes place. After malolactic conversion, the wine matures in large oak barrels or about 12 months. It’s bottle aged for 12 months before release. Tasting Notes: This is a more candid wine suitable for immediate drinking, with intense red and black berry flavours, and broad tannins making up a generous palate.
