## Summary

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.

## Food pairings

Red for hearty first courses such as risotto with cheese and bacon, and the traditional bagna cauda.
