Red
Barbera d'Alba
By Bric Castelvej - Gallino Domenico, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
Barbera from Canale d'Alba on clay-calcareous soil, matured in large oak casks.
Tasting notes
Fine red-fruit notes with the complexity of large-cask wood in delicate evidence. Rare finesse on the palate, with pulp and acidity in very good balance.
Pairs well with
Meat dishes; soft, rich cheeses that are not aged for long.
