Red
Casareggio
By Agostino Pavia e Figli, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
Barbera d'Asti aged four months in large oak casks, the most youthful of the estate's Barbera d'Asti.
Tasting notes
Ruby red. Fragrant and fruity, with appealing notes of small red fruits. Dry and long, with very good balance between acidity and savoury depth. Pleasant finish echoing the nose.
