Red
Brichet
By Ca' Viola, Dogliani, Piemonte, Italy
The "younger sister" of Bric du Luv, placed in the range as the everyday, ready-to-drink Barbera.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby with a violet rim. A burst of red fruit, undergrowth and sweet spice on the nose. Light on volume and built on fresh drinkability: a juicy, inviting, agile Barbera.
