Olim Bauda Barbera d'Asti Superiore Le Rocchette 2017
Always a delicious and very elegant wine. There is a little more sand in the soil compared to the Barbera vineyards which give us the other two wines. The result? Italian newspaper, La Repubblica, has described it as “Velvety, spicy, immediate but by no means average, this is the Barbera for everyone”. And it’s my favourite (Diana)

Colour

Purplish red colour with purplish highlights.

Bouquet

Complex, fine, intense and pleasant bouquet. Harmonious scents of ripe fruit, plum, cocoa and spices.

Flavour

Smooth and graceful on the palate, with a good structure, just the right alcohol content, and with fine, sweet tannins that convey a nice fullness. The finish is lingering and persistent.
