Cantina Sociale di Nizza In Origine

Barbera d'Asti from organic grapes made with indigenous yeasts, in the style of 1955 when the cooperative was founded. Barbera 100%, 15% vol.

Tasting notes

Crystal-clear ruby red. Fresh, fruity aromas, above all rose and blackcurrant. Full, impetuous character on the palate with good savouriness and the honest fragrance typical of Barbera.

Pairs well with

Easy to pair: red meat dishes, or first courses such as agnolotto quadro with roast gravy; also suits more international cooking. Unusual pairing: salt cod salad.
