BARBERA D'ALBA DOC

2020

75cl

Grape variety: Barbera

A Barbera that shows the harmonious side of the territory, played more on the tension of the fruit than on the search for power. The heat is hidden by the structure which has a fine and straight development. It appears in a ruby-cardinal red dress; the olfactory compartment is characterized by vinous notes, plum and just ripe blackberries. The balanced body and marked acidity make it absolutely fresh and gastronomic. Serving temperature: 16°C.
