Barbera del Monferrato
By F.lli Facchino, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's classic Barbera del Monferrato DOC from Rocca Grimalda and Carpeneto, smooth and rounded, built to improve with a few years of age.
Tasting notes
Deep red when young, turning more burgundy with age. A typical vinous nose with pleasant herbal notes from the vine and the area. Smooth, balanced and round on the palate, with tannins that soften further with age.
Pairs well with
Best partner for pasta with meat sauce, roasted meat, red braised meat and game; good with meat and cheese generally.
