Description

This wine is capable of expressing a typical nature, while keeping its distance from the stereotype that presents Barbera as an ‘edgy’ wine. Highly appreciated for its great range and the optimal balance of all of its features, it is a ‘rotund’ charming wine that’s approachable and flattering.
