Barbera d'Asti Superiore aged at least a year in large oak barrels and partly in barriques. Also sold in magnum, 3, 6 and 12 litre formats.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby colour that acquires light garnet undertones with ageing. Immediate typicity of Barbera on the nose with a slight spiciness. Pleasantly full and harmonious flavour.
Pairs well with
Traditional starters, white and red meats and medium-aged cheeses.
