Tasting: Barbera d’Alba

Paler, crimson plum. Sweet, ripe and forward with cherry aromas. Fresh, simple juicy fruit flavours with good balancing acidity. Some typicity.

Tasting: Barbera d’Alba

Medium dark ruby-red. Aromas of violets and perfumed raspberry. Enters bright and juicy, with round red cherry and sweet herb flavours, finishing medium long and with hints of black pepper and cocoa. There’s a mounting dry mouthfeel to this wine, but with plenty of bright floral juicy red berry notes that linger nicely. .
