Red
Gavius
By Marchesi Cattaneo Adorno Giustiniani, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
Barbera-led blend with Pinot Nero from vineyards in Gabiano and Zoalengo, aged in the castle's underground cellars.
Tasting notes
Colour: lively ruby red with violet reflections. Nose: intense, persistent and fine, with red fruits, redcurrant and final notes of fine woods. Palate: blackberry, freshness, savouriness, softness and slight aromas of fine woods; a blend that sets Barbera's typical traits against the fruity aromas of Pinot Noir.
Pairs well with
Red meat dishes, mushrooms and truffles, medium-aged cheeses.
