Intense ruby red turning to garnet with age. Vinous and intense on the nose, with notes of ripe fruit, jam and tobacco. Dry, warm, full-bodied on the palate, lightly tannic, powerful and distinctive, with the marked acidity typical of Barbera d'Asti; great structure and persistence. Recommended in a balloon glass.
