Red
Barbera d'Alba
By Tonino Marchisio, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's everyday Barbera, from the Rocca-Me Cè vineyard, aged in large French oak. The producer gives it a lifespan of 3-5 years.
Tasting notes
Very vivid, intense ruby with strong violet reflections. Spice and undergrowth lead, with plum, cherry and other red fruit. Dry, full-flavoured, with fresh acidity and a velvety balance.
Pairs well with
Traditional regional dishes, light red meats, soft or hard cheeses.
