The Barbera d'Alba Superiore is a Barbera made even more complex by its oak aging. Deep ruby red, this wine combines rich aromas of plums and blackberries, blended with delicate floral accents, a hint of spice, and subtle hints of chocolate. On the palate, it is fruity and full-bodied, harmoniously balanced by lively acidity and a long finish. The Barbera d'Alba Superiore comes from a vineyard in the Barbaresco sub-zone called "Buschet," which means "small forest" and refers to an iconic area of Barbaresco for Barbera and Dolcetto winemakers. The grapes were harvested from 50-year-old vines. In the winery, the grapes were destemmed and fermented, including 10-15 days on the skins. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged for 12 months, including at least four months in oak. Pairs well with: Very versatile. Meat, poultry, pizza, pasta, cured meats, and cheese.
