Barbera d'Alba Superiore Scassa, Bruna Grimaldi

New

With this wine we want to enhance the peculiarities of Barbera which are concentration, freshness, elegance, longevity. It is a style of our own to interpret Barbera. Selected vineyards, low yields and oak ageing are the key factors that contribute to make this wine up to the standards of the Superior appellative. Intense aromas of red fruits, sour cherries with graphite and menthol notes on the nose. On the palate it is rich and concentrated, mineral and fresh. This freshness gives it longevity and makes it a versatile wine in terms of food pairing

Bottling is carried out during the summer and the wine ages in bottle before being released
