## Summary

Riserva from the Moncucco-Cavino cru in Mombercelli, aged about 18 months in steel, tonneaux and barriques plus 18 months in bottle.

## Tasting notes

Intense ruby red with clear purple reflections. Intense, powerful and rich, with dark ripe plum and cherry; tobacco, vanilla, chocolate and spice as secondary aromas. A concentrated, full-bodied Barbera with medium to high acidity and rounded tannins, savoury and well balanced. Can be enjoyed now and should develop well over the next 10-15 years.
