Canto di Luna
By Cascina Guido Berta, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's Nizza Riserva: 100% Barbera from the Nizza DOCG zone, aged 24 months in barrique.
Tasting notes
Deep, intense garnet red with bright highlights. Enveloping and complex on the nose, with woodland-berry notes merging with sweet hints of chocolate. Full-bodied and structured on the palate, surprisingly soft, with a long, fruity finish.
