Barbera & Barbera-based Blends

A wine of great intensity, in which the freshness of the vine balances perfectly with the fullness of the aging in Slavonian oak wood.

Tasting Notes

Vinous, intense and velvety aroma; dry and full-bodied flavor; of an intense purplish red color, almost impenetrable.

Food Pairing

This wine is ideal with rich pastas, main course meat dishes, salumi, and hard cheeses.
