Red
Pian dei Fichi
By Cascina Baricchi, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
An easy-drinking Dolcetto d'Alba from vines planted in 1973 at Neviglie, made and aged in stainless steel only.
Tasting notes
The estate describes a ruby red with intense purple glints, bright thanks to its acidity. Fresh red fruit on the nose, raspberry, blueberry and wild strawberry, with a marked vinous note. Soft and balanced on the palate, medium-bodied, fresh and easy to drink.
Pairs well with
Everyday dishes such as pasta with tomato sauce or meat ragù.
