Paolo Malfatti founded Cascina Zerbetta in 1998 in Piedmont’s Monferrato. The estate makes wines that express local terroir through traditional methods and respect for nature.
A leading wine is its Barbera del Monferrato, made entirely from Barbera hand-picked in mid-October from clay and silt vineyards between Quargnento and Fubine. Its production profile describes fifteen days of maceration and around twenty days of spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in steel, with two months on the lees. A further six months of maturation in steel precedes filtration.
The wines, particularly the Barbera, have a rich, spicy character, with ripe black cherry and spice notes. Balanced acidity and juicy fruit combine body with easy drinking. Allowing the wine to breathe after opening helps its flavours unfold.
Traditional winemaking and care for the environment underpin Cascina Zerbetta’s expression of Monferrato.
