Red
Barbera d'Alba
By Diego Morra, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's everyday Barbera d'Alba, grown across its three villages and aged entirely in steel.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red blending with violet notes, typical of Barbera. Perfumes of mature red fruit and small fruit jam, final flowery notes, noteworthy alcohol balanced by typical acidity.
Pairs well with
Main courses of meat, aged cheeses and intensely flavoured first courses.
