Rapalino Barbera d'Alba Superiore

Barrel-aged Barbera from Neviglie and Trezzo Tinella, 24 months in 5-hectolitre tonneaux. Marco finds it satisfying to work with such a generous and powerful wine.

Tasting notes

Ruby red, with full, ripe red fruits on the nose and spicy notes that return on the palate, supported by varietal freshness, fullness and power. Very long finish; can be aged for a few years.

Pairs well with

Excellent with game dishes and boiled meats.
