Red
Rivoi
By Marco Bonfante, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
Fresh, fruity Barbera d'Asti kept in steel with no oak. Part of the Sileo line, which the bottle label shows.
Tasting notes
Bright ruby. Very open, typical fruity aromas of red cherry and marasca cherry. Dry, with good balance between acid and alcohol, fresh and pleasant.
Pairs well with
Pasta, pizza, white and red meat.
