Deep ruby red with violet hues. Bouquet: Intense, persistent, with notes of chalk, ripened fruit, rose, pepper and chocolate. Taste: Full, delicate and harmonic; the flavour corresponds with, and enhances, the characteristics of the bouquet, unfolding in a pleasant, lingering finish on the palate. The structure of the Cabernet and the acidity from Barbera make this wine a great match not only with red meat and medium aged cheeses, but also with rich pasta dishes.
