Barbera d’Asti Superiore DOCG of Luna e I Falo’ is born from the heart of the Piedmont hills, a terroir that gives the Barbera grape intensity and unique depth. This magnum best expresses its structure thanks to a careful selection of the grapes and prolonged aging in wooden barrels, which impart complexity and softness to the wine. In the glass, it presents a bright ruby red color, with garnet reflections typical of the superiore version. On the nose, it releases aromas of ripe wild berries, plum, and cherry, accompanied by delicate spicy hints and subtle notes of vanilla and tobacco. On the palate, the sapidity is balanced by good freshness and silky tannins, inviting a long and pleasant persistence. Perfect paired with red meat dishes, roasts, or aged cheeses, it is ideal for those seeking an authentic and characterful wine.
