## Summary

A single-plot Barbera d'Asti DOCG from the Bricco Pizzo vineyard in Cioccaro di Penango, aged 15 months in tonneaux.

## Tasting notes

Deep ruby red. Intense, fruity nose of ripe fruit from a late harvest. Elegant, soft spice from oak ageing. Very persistent on the palate with good freshness and a direct, crunchy impact, and soft, silky tannin from the mix of new and used tonneaux.
