Red
Giobbe Barbera d'Alba Vivace
By Teo Costa, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
Younger Barbera d'Alba blended from several vineyards, in the Giobbe line, with a red label.
Tasting notes
Ruby red with soft violet reflections. Winey, fruity nose of good persistence; the producer likens the primary scents to freshly pressed must and the palate to wild berries, blackberries and raspberries. Full, fresh palate with good grip.
Pairs well with
Young, fresh, appealing red
