The estate's steel-aged Barbera, from vineyards between Vho and Sarezzano, aged 12 months in steel tanks and at least 6 months in bottle.
Tasting notes
Vinous, delicate and abundant when young, with scents of tobacco and strawberry. Its structure gives aromas of red fruit and black cherry, pleasant and full-bodied, with a hint of almond. Full-bodied and rich, it pairs well with hearty, flavorful dishes.
