WINE DESCRIPTION Barbera d’Alba wines are some of the best examples of this grape variety, produced around the town of Alba and the surrounding Langhe hills. They are characterized by a deep color, low tannins and high levels of acidity. When young they offer fresh flavors of cherries, blueberries and raspberries. Being generally rich, bold and flavorful, they differ from Barbera d’Asti, which is considered lighter and more feminine. The “Superiore” designation is reserved for wines that must age for 12 months minimum, of which at least 4 months must be in oak barrels.
TASTING NOTES Deep ruby red color with purple hues. The nose is intense and rich, with aromas of ripe red fruits and intriguing spicy sensations. Dry and well-rounded on the palate, with lively acidity and pleasant minerality. Long, fruity and savory finish.
FOOD PAIRING A very food-friendly wine, ideal for every occasion. Ideal with charcuterie, ravioli, pasta with ragu sauce, risottos, grilled meat, game, and cheese.
