Red
Riva della Coda
By Cascina Baricchi, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
A Barbera d'Alba from the steep slopes around the estate in Neviglie, planted in 1992 and aged up to two years in oak casks.
Tasting notes
The estate describes a deep ruby red verging on dark. On the nose floral and still slightly vinous, with fresh plum, cherry and raspberry, a herbal touch and light spice, well knit with the oak. On the palate elegant and harmonious, of good length, rounded and pleasing in its freshness.
Pairs well with
Vegetable soups, pasta e fagioli, risotto with osso buco, and cotechino with lentils.
