Cavallotto Barbera d'Alba Vigna del Cuculo 2018

Colour

Compact, radiant ruby.

Bouquet

Eye-catching in its languid scents of black cherries, sour cherries, roses still fleshy, pine needles, studded with fine spicy hints.

Flavour

Taste fleshy, rich, with vivid acidic shoulder that stretches in the persistence of fruit on plush tannins.

Pairing

This wine finds its best matches at the table, with first courses of prosciutto, salami, lardo, beef carpaccio “Albese” style and vitello tonnato. Also excellent with pasta and pizza, or with second courses of red meat in general, but also grilled fish or robust white meats, or with aged cheeses.
