Tenuta Tenaglia 1930 Una buona annata

A 100% Barbera from the estate's historic vineyards, aged in a mix of barriques and tonneaux before further bottle ageing.

Tasting notes

Intense red colour with violet highlights. Engaging bouquet of black berry fruit and spice. Soft, harmonious and opulent on the palate, with well-balanced vanilla notes.

Pairs well with

Regional truffle dishes, mixed roasts and aged cheeses; excellent as a meditation wine.
