Red
Barbera d'Alba Superiore
By Podere Gagliassi, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
Barbera from the Pian Romualdo hill aged in French oak tonneaux. Producer suggests drinking 3 to 7 years after harvest.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red with purple highlights. Ripe plum, dark cherry, liquorice and sweet spices, with a balsamic touch and a hint of vanilla from the wood. Full-bodied, smooth and harmonious, with delicate tannins, refreshing acidity and a long, fruity, spicy finish.
Pairs well with
Red meats, tasty Piedmontese dishes and semi-mature cheeses.
