Oak-aged Barbera d'Alba Superiore from old Novello vines, made since the estate's first harvest in 1997.
Tasting notes
Intense, lively, deep ruby. Elegant nose of small red berries with sweet spice, sometimes cocoa and flowers. Fresh and harmonious, a rich, rounded structure balanced by Barbera's typical acidity
Pairs well with
Flavourful first courses, white meats, medium-aged cheeses
