Red
Sopra Berruti
By L'Armangia, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
A classic Barbera d'Asti DOCG blended from several estate hillside vineyards, able to age 5 to 7 years.
Tasting notes
Crimson red changing to garnet red after a few years of ageing. Intense stone fruit (mostly cherries), strawberries, violets, occasionally almonds. Tasty and full bodied, with enjoyable acidity and light but clear tannins that soften with ageing.
Pairs well with
Red and grilled meat, charcuterie and cheese, soups and venison; fat and tasty dishes that highlight its mouth cleaning quality.
