## Summary

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.

## Food pairings

Vegetable soups, pasta e fagioli, risotto with osso buco, and cotechino with lentils.
