Barbera d'Asti Superiore
By Ridaroca, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
Barbera d'Asti Superiore DOCG aged about 18 months in oak vats, 13.5 to 14.5% alcohol.
Tasting notes
Ruby red tending to garnet. Dry and full-bodied with a slightly bitter edge, which softens with age into a full, harmonious taste. Winey aroma, intense but delicate, enhanced by the oak.
Pairs well with
Very flavourful pasta and meat dishes.
