Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby color with a youthful, bright edge. The nose is likely to be expressive and inviting, with ripe red and dark cherries, plums, violet tones, and subtle spice, supported by a fresh, lively aromatic profile. On the palate, expect Barbera’s signature acidity to bring lift and clarity to the wine’s supple fruit, with a smooth texture, good concentration, and a clean, persistent finish. As a Barbera d’Alba Superiore, it should have the structure to age gracefully for several years, developing more savory and nuanced notes with time.

Production
Produced in Piedmont, the wine comes from Barbera vineyards in the Barbera d'Alba zone, where the grape benefits from the region’s mix of calcareous soils, rolling hills, and a climate that supports full ripening while preserving acidity. The harvest is typically carried out with care to ensure healthy, ripe fruit, and vinification is aimed at combining varietal freshness with added complexity and structure for the Superiore style.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with rich pasta dishes, ragù, roasted poultry, grilled meats, braised beef, and aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C. A short decant of about 30 minutes can help open up the aromas and soften the wine’s youthful structure.
