Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red with violet reflections. Aromas of ripe cherries, plums, and hints of spice and vanilla on the nose. Fresh and vibrant on the palate with bright acidity, soft tannins, and flavours of red berries, black pepper, and a touch of oak. Barbera d'Alba is one of Piedmont's most versatile food wines — high natural acidity and soft tannins make it a natural partner for pasta and charcuterie.
