iL Ritorno
By Corte San Pietro, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
A steel-aged Barbera d'Asti described by the producer as the estate's manifesto, a return to its origins.
Tasting notes
Intense purple colour and good body. Aromas of wild berries, violet, sweet spices and a hint of sun-dried hay. On the palate the Barbera makes itself felt, with a fresh note balanced by good softness, which the producer attributes to the perfect exposure on the Moasca castle hill.
Pairs well with
Traditional: typical Piemontese starters, vitello tonnato, raw meat, tajarin with sausage ragù and roasts. Vegetarian/vegan: legume soup, fresh or medium-aged cheeses.
