Barbera d'Asti
By Frasca - La Guaragna, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
Barbera assembled from roughly 15 separately vinified parcels across the three communes. Best within 5 years of harvest, and it keeps evolving after that.
Tasting notes
A nose rich in red fruit, with a distinctive freshness that makes it easy to pair, according to the producer.
