Marcobarba Barbabianca 2023

MYR 200.00

Type: White Wine (Natural / Biodynamic / Minimal Intervention)

Region: Gambellara, Veneto, Italy

Grapes: Garganega, Chardonnay, Glera, and Trebbiano

Alcohol ABV: 10.5%

Tasting Profile and Key Notes

Aroma:
Fresh and expressive with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, white peach, pear, and delicate white flowers. Subtle notes of almond, fresh herbs, and a gentle mineral character add complexity, reflecting the volcanic soils and traditional grape varieties of the Gambellara area.

Palate:
Light-bodied, vibrant, and highly refreshing with flavours of citrus, orchard fruits, and a touch of almond. Bright acidity provides energy, while a soft textured mouthfeel from lees ageing gives balance and depth. The finish is clean, mineral, and slightly savoury, making it an easy-drinking yet gastronomic white wine.

Winemaking

The grapes are sourced from biodynamically farmed vineyards and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks. The wine remains in the same concrete vessels for at least six months of ageing, allowing it to develop texture while preserving freshness and purity. Bottled unfiltered with only a small addition of sulphur, Barbabianca reflects Marcobarba’s low-intervention philosophy and focus on natural expression.

Farming

The vineyards are located around Gambellara in Veneto, an area known for its volcanic basalt soils and long tradition of native white grape cultivation. Marcobarba follows biodynamic farming principles, reducing vineyard intervention to a minimum and focusing on soil health, biodiversity, and harmony with the natural environment.
