Red
Barbera d'Alba
By Pierangelo Careglio, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
A Barbera d'Alba DOC from the Roero hills, made in a traditional style that is also suited to long ageing.
Tasting notes
Ruby red with violet hues. Reminiscent of plums, cherry and blueberry. Immediately soft and full, with an acidity that gives fragrance and freshness, a wide finish and a spicy aftertaste.
Pairs well with
Boiled and braised meat, stewed beef, roast veal and lamb, medium-aged cheeses.
