Red
Barbera d'Alba Superiore
By Teresa Soria Winery, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
A barrique-aged Barbera from overripe grapes, available also in Magnum.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby. Jam aromas with tobacco and wood. On the palate the estate style: a straightforward wine, not too muscular, not smothered by the oak.
Pairs well with
Full-bodied red for meat main courses, ideal with mixed boiled meats or classic brasato al Barbera.
