100% Barbera. Deep ruby in color with violet reflections. Aromas of red cherry, strawberry, raspberry, and boysenberry layered with vanilla, sandalwood, baking spice, earth-dust, hazelnut, and light wood hints that add depth. On the palate, flavors of sour cherry, raspberry, and bramble are supported by tomato leaf, cocoa, coffee, mineral tones, and a faint light gamey nuance. This is a dry wine with medium acidity and medium ripe tannins that are supple yet structured, delivering a plush mouthfeel and good framework. The body is medium, with medium flavor intensity and a medium finish where fruit and spice linger harmoniously. Structurally, the wine shows balance between fruit, acidity, and moderate tannic grip, making it approachable yet serious enough to pair with hearty Italian fare.
Food Pairing: sour cherry, sage, anise, cinnamon, white pepper, nutmeg, Moroccan spice blend. Regional dishes include Tajarin pasta, porcini stew, carne all’albese (steak tartare w/ parmesan, olive oil, and rocket), piedmonte toma, castelmagno, ribiola di roccaverano, and aged parmigiano-reggiano.
