Red
Sbircio
By Il Poggio di Gavi, Gavi, Piemonte, Italy
A Barbera from the marl hills of Monleale at 300 metres, fermented spontaneously and aged in barrique.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red with garnet reflections. Lively fruity aromas typical of Barbera with fresh balsamic touches. Firm yet refined structure; rich, energetic and well balanced on the palate, with a long finish of blackberry jam, eucalyptus and a slight ferrous note.
Pairs well with
Roast and braised meats, traditional polenta, aged cheeses, grilled meats, vegetable risottos or mature cheeses, game, cured meats and mushroom dishes.
