Deep purple in color; raspberries, cherries and a hint of something floral on the nose; medium acidity; smooth tannins; tastes like wet slate, pomegranate, and strawberry with a long refreshing finish. Really good. This is my first Barbera d' Asti.

Can really taste the grape. Light bramble spice and full fruit aroma. Tart fruit and hint of carmel on the palette. Smooth tannins. Paired well with pig trotter fritters, rabbit gnocchi and lobster risotto.
