Barbera d’Alba Superiore, exceeding the aging requirements for the Superiore DOC, Claudio turns this everyday grape into an age worthy masterpiece with finesse and presicion. Deep ruby red with hints of purple. It has an intense bouquet, with dark cherry skin and plum, pleasant woodland flowers, wild herbs, and forest floor. A textured mid-palate leads to a dry and complex finish that softens with age. It pairs well with red and white meats, tagliatelle pasta, medium- to full-flavored cheeses, the local stew “Bollito,” and sausages.
