Red
Nobbio
By Roberto Ferraris, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
A Barbera d'Asti from the old Nobbio vineyard, aged in steel, rich and concentrated.
Tasting notes
Ruby red tending to garnet, with scents of plum, vanilla and blackberry. Intense and full on the palate, with a flavoursome, characteristic aftertaste.
