Selectio
By Francesco Sobrero, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Organic Barbera d'Alba DOC 'Selectio', 100% Barbera from a single hectare in Castiglione Falletto, aged 12 months in large oak barrels.
Tasting notes
Bright violet-tinged ruby of real intensity. Lively, fleshy, fresh nose, very varietal, with great balance between fruity notes, broad, well-expressed floral hints, a lively mineral streak, hints of black pepper, spice and leather, giving notable complexity and freshness. Broad, generous fruit on the palate, with calibrated acidity giving freshness and liveliness, opening out well in the mouth with breadth, character, persistence and a long, clean, energetic finish.
Pairs well with
A very versatile wine at the table, excellent with starters and first courses in general, and with meat in lighter sauces.
