## Summary

A Barbera d'Alba DOC from the Roero hills, made in a traditional style that is also suited to long ageing.

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.

## Food pairings

Boiled and braised meat, stewed beef, roast veal and lamb, medium-aged cheeses.
