Castello del Poggio Barbera d'Asti Masarej 2019
This outstanding expression of the indigenous Barbera grape and of its production zone is a wine that retains an enviable freshness. It surprises us when it first encounters our palate, because it succeeds in reconciling two opposite elements: acidity and structure. It offers an impeccable expression of the terroir of the Asti area, with its concentrated red fruit (especially cherries) but also leather and a faint gaminess. Masaréj, a red of outstanding fi nesse, matures for almost two years in barrel and then in bottle.

Colour

Compact ruby.

Bouquet

The nose reveals intense aromas of violets and peonies, then plums and cherries, inviting black pepper spice and cardamom.

Flavour

Solid, structured in the mouth, markedly by an important caloric support, balanced by freshness and elegant tannins.

Pairing

It is perfect with beef, game or substantial pasta dishes, but it is also an excellent foil for autumnal delicacies such as mushrooms and tru es or other hearty country fare.
