Red
Ad Majora Barbera
By San Biagio, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Ad Majora line Barbera d'Alba Superiore from young La Morra and Roddi vines, velvety and fragrant.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red with violet reflections and slight cardinal hues. Plum, blackberry, jam and spice with floral notes, young fruit and more austere with age. Full, enveloping palate with red fruit and flowers and a fresh acidic vein softened by silky persistence.
Pairs well with
Starters, first courses, savoury pies, white and red meats, fresh to medium-aged cheeses.
