Red
Vigna Preda
By Cascina Adelaide, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Barbera d'Alba Superiore from the Preda vineyard, aged 12 months in oak casks and barriques.
Tasting notes
Intense violet in the glass. The nose is captured by sweet fruit, flowers and plum jam topped by elegant, delicate vanilla; the berry is intense and crystalline on the palate, with velvety acidity at the finish.
Pairs well with
Perfect with red meat and aged cheeses.
