## Summary

A lightly effervescent Barbera del Monferrato, similar in style to the estate's Barbera d'Asti but for its natural sparkle.

Ruby red colour. Vinous, fruity bouquet. Lively, dry, medium-structured palate.

## Food pairings

Good through a whole meal, especially first courses with pulses, risottos, meat second courses and fresh or medium-aged cheeses.
