More questions
Barbera d'Alba DOC - Tenuta La Rocca is born in the heart of the Langhe, a region renowned for its volcanic soils and fresh air that give the wines a distinct elegance. This wine expresses the authentic character of the Barbera grape, with an intense ruby red color and a lively structure. On the nose, it features aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, enriched by delicate spicy and slightly balsamic notes.
On the palate, it reveals itself to be full-bodied yet balanced, thanks to a typical good acidity that makes the sip fresh and persistent, with soft and silky tannins. The aging in steel and partly in wood helps maintain aromatic purity, enhancing its versatility.
Perfectly paired with Piedmontese cuisine, from game to aged cheeses, this Barbera d'Alba also suits rich pasta dishes and light red meats.
