## Summary

The most ambitious Barbera in the range, from a low-yielding vineyard in Roddi and aged 18 months in French oak barriques. The label shows a Roman helmet, recalling the battle of Campi Raudii in 101 BC.

## Tasting notes

Intense ruby red with violet reflections. Blackberry with roasted coffee, tobacco, ink and spices. Rich, warm and full-bodied on the attack, evolving into a long, finely tannic finish supported by Barbera's acidity.
