## Summary

A vibrant Barbera from Monferrato, known for its rich fruit and characteristic acidity.

## Tasting notes

Garnet shades with ageing. Intense, with pronounced notes of red fruit, cherry and light spice, sometimes floral. It gains complexity when aged in wood, with hints of cocoa or vanilla, and the flavour rounds out with ageing.
