Variety: Barbera 100%
Intense, lively ruby red color.
Intense and with personality on the nose. Defines aromas of dark berries, red plums and withered flowers. The spices are highlighted with class and passing from sweet to spicy ones. Tobacco and undergrowth further embellish it.
In the mouth it remains upright and firm, with excellent creaminess to compensate for the lively freshness. Perfectly traceable to the vine of origin, it juggles with greater elegance than the average. The persistence is also excellent, with aromas of fruit, spices and wild berries.
