Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC is a Piedmontese red wine that represents the excellence of the Barbera vine, one of the most emblematic of the region. The "Superiore" designation indicates a higher level of quality, often achieved through a more rigorous selection of the grapes and a longer aging period, which may include passage in wooden barrels to enrich the wine with aromatic and structural complexity.

A hypothetical "Ace of Pentacles" Barbera d'Alba Superiore could present itself with an intense and lively ruby ​​red color, with possible garnet reflections due to aging. On the nose, this wine would offer a rich and intensely fruity bouquet, with dominant notes of cherry, blackberry and plum, enriched by accents of vanilla, sweet spices and a light toasting, the result of aging in wood.

In the mouth, it would stand out for its robust but balanced structure, with a lively acidity typical of Barbera which contributes to the freshness and drinkability of the wine. The tannins would be soft and well integrated, with a tasting persistence that highlights a long and pleasantly harmonious finish, where fruit and woody notes blend in an elegant balance.

Ideal in combination with rich and structured dishes, such as red meats, mushroom-based dishes, medium-aged cheeses and Piedmontese cuisine, a Barbera d'Alba Superiore "Asso di Denari" would be a high-quality expression of the Barbera vine , capable of giving moments of pure oenological pleasure.
