By L'Astemia Pentita, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy

L'Astemia Pentita Barbera d'Alba

Barbera made and aged in steel to keep the fruitier, juicier side of the grape.

Tasting notes

Fruity and juicy, rich in notes of red and black berries. A structured body in a broad, vibrant sip, free from the influence of wood.

Pairs well with

Charcuterie, red meats; aperitifs or traditional starters, and more structured dishes such as tripe or lentil soup
