Description
This wine is sourced from a parcel of calcareous, clayey and sandy marl soils in the Bricco Sant'Ambrogio vineyard. The vines are in excess of 25 years of age and produce wines of exceptional intensity and drive in a very attractive package. Look for floral notes with cherry, cloves and woodsmoke, with that typical Barbera earthy/meaty tone. A good choice for stews.

Tasting Notes
Intense and inviting aromas of red cherry, raspberry, grilled meat, cloves and woodsmoke. Packed with dense fruit flavour, this is approachable and easy to like. An awesome earthy/meaty complexity with soft tannins. Dark cherry and a waft of smoke emerge on the finish. Enjoy with braised meat or stews. (VINTAGES panel, Feb. 2014)
