## Summary

Barbera d'Asti Superiore from the Bricco di Nizza cru in Nizza Monferrato, aged about 18 months in steel, casks and barriques.

## Tasting notes

Ruby red with violet reflections. Intense, rich aroma with typical Barbera scents of cherry and blackberry, plus anise, vanilla and incense; ripe cherry, toasted coffee and vanilla. Gentle tannins and suitably high acidity give a balanced wine.
