Cooperativa Vallebelbo Collezione 56 Barbera d'Asti Superiore

For this Barbera d'Asti Superiore, Cooperativa Vallebelbo drew up an agronomic protocol built around a strict selection of well-sited parcels, followed by wood ageing to bring out the variety's fruit and spice.

Tasting notes

The nose shows a broad bouquet of red fruit with balsamic and spiced notes, oak ageing brings out cinnamon and sweet liquorice. Full and warm on the palate, with bottle ageing adding complexity and a long finish.
