Bruna Grimaldi Barbera d'Alba Superiore Scassa 2024

Bruna Grimaldi Barbera d'Alba Superiore Scassa 2024 is de krachtige Barbera van een Barolo-familie die in Grinzane Cavour al decennia lang stap voor stap is opgeschoven van bulkwijn naar topcru’s. Wat maakt Bruna Grimaldi Barbera d'Alba Superiore Scassa 2024 zo bijzonder? Het is een Barbera d’Alba uit vier zorgvuldig geselecteerde gemeenten rond Grinzane Cavour, met lage opbrengsten, rijping in tonneaux en grote foeders en een stijl die concentratie koppelt aan opvallende frisheid. Bij Perfectewijn vind je Scassa als de Barbera voor liefhebbers die net zo veel waarde hechten aan terroir en structuur als aan rijp rood fruit en gastronomische inzetbaarheid.

Wijngaarden en regio

De druiven voor Bruna Grimaldi Barbera d'Alba Superiore Scassa 2024 komen uit Italië, uit Piemonte, uit wijngaarden in de gemeenten Roddi, La Morra, Diano d’Alba en Sinio. De percelen liggen tussen 250 en 450 m hoogte, met voornamelijk zuid, zuidoost en zuidwest gerichte hellingen, zodat Barbera hier optimaal kan rijpen zonder zijn levendige zuren te verliezen. De bodems zijn arm en kalkrijk, opgebouwd uit marne en zandsteenformaties zoals de Marne di Sant’Agata Fossili, de Arenarie di Diano en de Formazioni di Lequio, wat de wijn zijn combinatie van diepte, spanning en een lichte minerale toets geeft. De naam Scassa verwijst naar het letterlijk “openbreken” van de stenige ondergrond in een van de oorspronkelijke percelen, een moeizaam ontgonnen wijngaard die het karakter van de cuvée sterk heeft gevormd. Het domein wordt inmiddels geleid door de volgende generatie, Simone en Martina Fiorino, die de familievisie op Barolo en Barbera verder aanscherpen met veel aandacht voor afzonderlijke percelen en een zorgvuldig, niet overdreven gebruik van eiken. 

Vinificatie en rijping

Na de handmatige oogst in de tweede en derde week van september worden de Barbera-druiven ontsteeld en vergist bij gecontroleerde temperatuur in roestvrijstalen tanks. De schilmaceratie duurt ongeveer 10 tot 12 dagen, lang genoeg om kleur, aroma en structuur uit de schillen te halen, maar zonder de wijn log of zwaar te maken. Na de alcoholische gisting ondergaat de wijn de malolactische omzetting in oude betonnen cuves, wat de zuren iets afrondt en extra textuur geeft zonder houtinvloed. De rijping duurt 12 tot 15 maanden in een combinatie van tonneaux en grote eikenhouten foeders, zodat hout vooral voor verfijning, complexiteit en zuurstofuitwisseling zorgt, niet voor dominante vanilletonen. Daarna volgt een langere flesrijping voordat Scassa op de markt komt, met een alcoholpercentage van ongeveer 15% als logische uitkomst van rijpe Barbera op warme, kalkrijke hellingen.

Druivensamenstelling

Barbera – Roddi, La Morra, Diano d’Alba en Sinio
Bruna Grimaldi Barbera d'Alba Superiore Scassa 2024 is 100% Barbera uit meerdere percelen in vier gemeenten, waarbij lage opbrengsten en warme expositie zorgen voor rijp rood fruit, diepe kleur, uitgesproken zuren en een krachtige maar toch uitgebalanceerde structuur.

Proefnotities en serveertips

In het glas is Scassa 2024 diep robijnrood. De geur zet in met intens rood en donker fruit zoals kersen en bessen, aangevuld met tonen van pruim, zwarte bes, grafiet, een vleugje munt en subtiele hints van vanille en specerijen uit het hout. In de smaak proef je een rijke, geconcentreerde Barbera met veel puur fruit, een duidelijke, sappige zuurgraad en een vleug mineraliteit die voor spanning zorgt; de tannines zijn aanwezig maar verfijnd en dragen bij aan een lange, gelaagde afdronk. Serveer deze Barbera d’Alba Superiore rond 16 tot 18 °C en geef de wijn gerust wat lucht in een karaf als je hem jong schenkt. Aan tafel voelt Scassa zich thuis bij rijke antipasti, pasta met vleessaus op basis van eierpasta, gestoofd of geroosterd rood en wit vlees, ovengerechten met kabeljauw of andere stevige vis en bij gerijpte harde kazen, waar zijn kracht en frisheid prachtig samenkomen.

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!

Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance “More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.” Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!! I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice! Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin. Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur. Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with. Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust. This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!! Read if you’re into- Dark Fantasy/Romance Slow–Burn Question Everything Magic and Action Fae Arthurian Legend Stabby/Broken FFC Morally Gray MMC Forced Proximity Queen of Roses is perfect for Holly Black, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Sarah J. Maas fans. Please check the trigger warnings page in the table of contents before reading this book.
