Features
The colour is ruby red with delicate purple tinges. An intense and persistent olfactory expression with references to berries, spirited cherries and ripe fruit. Pleasant spicy flavours and delicate sensa- tions reminiscent of wood and flowers. In the mouth, the exciting crispness of Barbera harmonises a high yet absolutely pleasant alcohol content. It reveals the typical intensity and persistence of a great wine.
