Barbera d'Alba D.oc.
Intense purple red, enveloping and lively.
Barbera d’Alba is a wine traditionally consumed as an accompaniment to meals, vividly coloured with clear fragrances of red berries reminiscent of blackberry, cherry and strawberry. It has a well-rounded and full-bodied flavour that lessens the typical acidity of the grapevine. Ideally consumed with medium ripe cheeses, and red and white meats.
