## Summary

A Barbera d'Alba from the terraced vineyards of Cortemilia, with a brief passage in wood, in a limited number of bottles.

## Tasting notes

Deep purple-red with ruby reflections, fruity and persistent bouquet and persistence on the palate. Of great structure and unique character; the light passage in wood adds a pleasant oaky note. Dry, savoury and harmonious.
