Red
Barbarossa
By Cantine Balbiano, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
Barbarossa is made from a selection of grapes from the estate's oldest vineyards; ageing draws out the structure, finesse and fullness Freisa can reach over time.
Tasting notes
Fruity scents give way to leather. Drier on the palate, with well defined but not overpowering tannins.
Pairs well with
Mature cheeses, stuffed pasta, full-bodied meat sauces and meat main courses such as braised and roasted meats.
