## Summary

A 100% Barbera aged six months in steel.

## Tasting notes

Purple red; when young it shows a pleasant natural foam. Intense, delicate, vinous aroma. Full, harmonious, balanced palate with tannins melded into a generous body.

## Food pairings

A table all-rounder that goes with almost every course, from agnolotti and meats to fish; when mature it deserves bigger roasts, mixed boiled meats and spicy cheeses.
