Red
Monleale
By Claudio Mariotto, Colli Tortonesi, Piemonte, Italy
A Barbera meant to express the shared identity of the Colli Tortonesi, aged in alternating new and once-used 500-liter barrels.
Tasting notes
Elegant, with typical notes of red fruit and ripe plums, spice, a fresh and fairly savory sip, and a good match between aroma and palate.
