BARBERA D'ALBA PEIRAGAL D.O.C. HIGHER 2023

Intense purple red color with violet reflections. The nose is complex, with fragrant notes of berries and morello cherries that combine with enveloping hints of vanilla bean. On the palate there is a full and elegant body, with robust, yet sweet and enveloping vanilla bean tannins. The long persistence of the sip is typical. A light woody note joins the wide range of aromas and flavors, increasing its complexity in a harmonious sensation of pleasantness.
