Vigna Mompissano
By Bric Castelvej - Gallino Domenico, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
Barbera from the Mompissano vineyard in Canale d'Alba, 350 m on south-west slopes, aged in large casks and tonneau.
Tasting notes
Aromas of undergrowth and sour cherry with a light finish of oriental spices. Powerful on the palate yet softened by ample roundness; ripe red fruit and sweet, fleshy cherries with a persistent finish.
