Tasting notes

Barbera grapes 100%.

Deep violet, intense, defined.

The fruit is juicy and red: licorice talks to cherry, amarena to rose and vanilla to raspberry.

In the mouth it’s a ballroom, everything is present: gentle acidity, softness and sustained body. All to create a great wine material.

Cold cuts or cheeses, but also rich and well seasoned vegetables. It wants fatness and chewiness, coppa piacentina, capocollo and culatello, or stuffed peppers.

Service temperature: 16-17 °C
