This is a Barbera del Monferrato Superiore DOCG vinified in wooden vats and then aged in 500-litre tonneaux. It is blended with Freisa in a proportion of no more than 15%. The body and complexity of the Barbera enriched by the spicy aromas of the wood integrate with the raspberry fruitiness of the Freisa, creating a great wine with a harmonious and balanced body, underlined by the lingering finish. Ideal with roasts, braised meats and mature cheeses.
