Vendemmia 1951
By Cascina Sciorio, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
Sciorio's unoaked, everyday Barbera, named for the family's 1951 harvest.
Tasting notes
Fresh, heady aromas over a muscular, persistent palate; an unoaked Barbera with plenty of energy.
Pairs well with
First courses and meats; works through a whole meal or as an aperitif.
