Barbera d'Alba

By Ridaroca, Roero, Piemonte, Italy

Ridaroca Barbera d'Alba

Steel-fermented Barbera d'Alba DOC, fresh and lively, 13.5 to 14.5% alcohol.

Tasting notes

Very bright ruby red with violet and scarlet reflections. Full on the palate, lively thanks to an ever-present acidity that keeps it fresh and pleasant. Fragrant, winey nose when young, with notes of plum, cherry jam and blackberry.

Pairs well with

First courses, boiled meats and fresh cheeses.
