## Summary

Barbera has grown in the Roero hills since ancient times; Cornarea has vinified it since 2016.

## Tasting notes

Purplish ruby colour. Intense nose of blackberry and cherry. Harmonious and balanced on the palate, with a pleasant softness often found in Roero Barberas and good acidity, already tempered by time, with evident red fruit.

## Food pairings

A wine for the whole meal: cured meats, grilled red and white meats; very drinkable, pleasant even in summer.
