Red
Forvia
By Scagliola - Sansì, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
A Nizza from an old Barbera vineyard recently bought in Agliano Terme, the estate's furthest vineyard; about 5,000 bottles a year.
Tasting notes
Red with evident purple hints and a complex aroma of good intensity: fruit in syrup, vanilla and light toast. Dry, warm, full, well structured and persistent, with light tannins in harmony.
Pairs well with
Pasta, meat, game, medium-aged cheese and cold cuts.
