Red
Amabilin
By Cascina Adelaide, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
A Barbera d'Alba Superiore named for the family nickname of founder Amabile Drocco, aged 24 months in barriques.
Tasting notes
Intense garnet red. The nose is clear, broad and ethereal with notes of rose, vanilla and spice. In the mouth balance and harmony stand out; dense and voluminous, with a very persistent finish.
Pairs well with
Perfect with red meat, game and aged, spicy cheeses.
