Barbera d'Alba DOC
The Tasting
A guided note in three moments, by our curators
-
Appearance & Nose
01This Barbera d'Alba presents a vibrant ruby red hue, hinting at its youthful exuberance, with subtle garnet reflections that speak of its varietal character. Its bouquet is a captivating dance of ripe cherry and plum, interwoven with delicate notes of violet and a whisper of earthy undertones, a classic expression of Piemonte's finest Barbera.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it offers a refreshing acidity that beautifully balances the rich fruit flavors, leading to a smooth, medium-bodied texture that coats the tongue. The finish is persistent and pleasingly dry, with a lingering echo of dark fruit and a refined tannic structure that invites another sip.
