Curation Note

The Tasting

A guided note in three moments, by our curators

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    Montepulciano, the star grape of this Abruzzo DOC, finds a generous soil in these stony hills that enhances its fruity vocation. In the glass, I Vasari di Barba reveals an intense ruby red color, with vibrant violet hues. The nose opens with clear notes of cassis and blueberry, caressed by a fine spiciness and a delicate balsamic scent.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, this wine reveals an elegant taste, where the fruity richness blends with a lively character, promising remarkable evolution but already offering considerable drinkability.

  3. At the Table

    03

    It pairs beautifully with pork roasts, baked lamb, and pasta alla norma.
