By Ca' del Baio, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy

Ca' del Baio Paolina

Paolina blends fruit from several Treiso vineyards into a fresh, soft expression of Barbera.

Tasting notes

Deep ruby red with purplish highlights. Vinous, intensely fruity nose of redcurrant and raspberry. Fresh and vibrant on the palate, with a long, rich, smooth flavour.

Pairs well with

Flavourful Piedmontese dishes, from mixed boiled meats to bagna cauda; cooked and raw cold cuts, stewed meats, and medium-mature fatty cheeses.
