## Summary

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.

## Food pairings

Young, fresh, appealing red
