## Summary

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.

## Food pairings

Full-bodied red for meat main courses, ideal with mixed boiled meats or classic brasato al Barbera.
