## Summary

Barbera from an old vineyard planted in 1962, aged in oak and tonneaux, about 15,000 bottles a year at 13.5% alcohol (14.5% in some vintages). The small bunches leave the colour of ripe cherries on the hands, the producer says.

## Tasting notes

Ruby red and violet with light amaranth tones, the colour of very ripe cherries. Very fine bouquet of plums and cherries over a delicate vanilla note from French Allier barrels. Fruit comes through slowly and persistently on the palate, with wood kept in the background, full-bodied and harmonious.
