## Summary

Balbiano's still Barbera, vinified in steel, with good body, colour intensity and moderate tannin despite its youth.

Intense ruby red colour and robust body, with notes of ripe red and black fruit on the nose. Harmonious and full on the palate, with velvety tannins and intense persistence.

Platters of cured meats and structured cheeses, ragù and tasty sauces, boiled meats, mixed grills, roasts and stewed red meats.
