About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Barbera grapes are grown in Piedmont, at the foot of the Western Alps. The mountains surround the region to the north and west, forming a natural border with Provence. The growing conditions include hot summer sunshine, cold autumn winds and winter fog.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness. The wine is made using a traditional vinification method for dry red wines.

Tasting profile

Bright cherry aromas are accompanied by good acidity and moderate complexity.

Serving and pairing

Pair with meat appetisers, risotto, pasta, veal, beef dishes and cheeses.
