Red
Pianoalto
By Bava, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
Nizza DOCG from the oldest Barbera vines of the Pianoalto estate at Crena, aged 18 months in large wooden vats.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red, almost purple. Complex bouquet led by ripe blackcurrant pulp, with pepper and tobacco. Harmonious and soft on the palate, with wood ageing giving balance and length.
