Red
Barbera d'Asti Superiore
By Fabio Perrone, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
Barbera of great structure from the estate's most suitable vineyards in Coazzolo, aged one year in wooden barrels.
Tasting notes
Colour: ruby red, intense when young, tending to garnet with age. Bouquet: fine and sweet, with aromas of red fruits and rose, vanilla and spices. Taste: confirms the elegance perceived by the eye, compact and always austere.
Pairs well with
Perfect with the great dishes of Piedmontese cuisine: meats, braised meats, game and mature cheeses.
