Red
Barbera d'Alba
By Teresa Soria Winery, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
A steel-aged Barbera from east-facing vineyards at 450 m in Castiglione Tinella.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby. Red fruit notes give complexity. The acidity stands out, typical of a Barbera on the border between Langa and Monferrato, but balanced by a robust body.
Pairs well with
Red for hearty first courses such as risotto with cheese and bacon, and the traditional bagna cauda.
