Data sheet

Organoleptic description

The color is deep ruby red with purplish nail. The nose is a riot of red fruits, notes of underbrush and sweet spices. The mouth is low in volume and played on fresh drinkability, which makes the wine very enjoyable. This is a juicy, inviting and agile Barbera.

Suggested serving temperature: 14-15° C.
