Description
Barbera d'Asti DOCG, 15% ABV, produced by Bricco dei Guazzi in Piedmont, 2021 vintage. A still red that expresses warm, fruity aromas with notes of red berries and jam. Aged in 30-hectoliter barrels for approximately six months and then in bottle for at least four months. An intense, almost impenetrable ruby red color with purple hues. On the palate, it is rounded and full, with dense, silky tannins. A wine capable of expressing its character, while breaking free from the stereotype of Barbera as an "edgy" wine.
