Vitidautunno Barbera Passito
By Teo Costa, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
Barbera made from lightly dried grapes; the label recalls the Castellinaldo church of San Servasio that gives the estate's street its name.
Tasting notes
Purple and deep garnet with orange reflections. Ethereal, intense nose of great nobility and persistence. Warm, silky, vigorous palate with spicy notes recalling ripe grapes.
