Red
Adornes
By Marchesi Cattaneo Adorno Giustiniani, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
Barbera d'Asti Superiore from the castle's hillside vineyards, aged about 18 months in French oak tonneaux. Marked freshness balanced by alcohol and ripeness, with a very long finish.
Tasting notes
Colour: very intense ruby red with slightly orange nuances. Nose: intense, persistent and fine, with fruity, mineral, vegetal and spicy notes of slightly macerated cherry and ripe plum, balsamic notes, graphite, dried fruit, ground white pepper and wood. Palate: dry, fresh, savoury, warm, slightly astringent, full but lean, persistent, with a bitter finish; the fruity, mineral, vegetal and spicy notes return in the aftertaste.
Pairs well with
Grilled and braised meats and aged cheeses.
