Red
Salgae
By Ada Nada, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
Salgà is a small-production, barrique-aged Barbera d'Alba, more structured and concentrated than Pierin.
Tasting notes
Very deep carmine red with violet highlights. Full of character with floral and spicy notes on the nose. Full and arresting on the palate, with clear notes of ripe red fruit.
