Red
Marta
By Olivero Mario, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
The most approachable Barbera of the estate, from the Cagnassi vineyard in Rodello. It is aged in oak and steel to keep freshness and fruit.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red with violet reflections. Fruity nose with blackberry in front. Rich and delicately fruity on the palate, with a slightly spicy finish supported by Barbera's freshness.
