Tasting profile
Ruby to garnet red with violet reflections. The rich, intense and persistent bouquet is well developed, with liquorice, violet, plum and vanilla. Fruit is joined on the palate by roasted and assertively spicy notes. Ripe plum is wrapped in spice, creating a balanced, vigorous and intense expression with breadth and power.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 17–18°C. Pair with roasted meats, game, wild game and hard cheeses. Available in 0.75 L, 1.5 L and 3 L formats.
Label / history
The name refers to a devout woman who lived beside the Barbera vineyard. She carefully observed religion’s outward practices and rules; the Bologna family says that they supplied its spirit.
