The wine shows a beautiful aspect and a ruby red color with nuances of purplish red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense aromas and good personality, mainly of fruit, such as raspberry, blackberry and plum followed by elegant and interesting aromas of coffee, chamomile, chocolate and hints of toasted. In the mouth the Barbera express its typicality with a crisp attack, however well balanced by tannins and alcohol. Good correspondence to the nose and good intensity of flavors. The finish is persistent with pleasing hints of plum and raspberry as well as chamomile. This wine is produced with maceration of skins for 14 days followed by an aging in cask for about one year.
