On the nose, it is inviting and fruit-driven, with aromas of ripe cherries and plums. The palate is juicy and refreshing, supported by lively acidity and a soft, balanced structure.

The Barbera grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, and the wine is matured with the aim of preserving its natural fruit and freshness rather than adding pronounced oak character. This careful, low-intervention style allows the grape and origin to remain clearly expressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe this Barbera d’Alba lightly chilled, at approximately 14–16°C.
