Its color is a deep ruby red with violet reflections, promising an intense sensory experience. On the nose, the Lurei offers a rich and persistent bouquet where notes of ripe red fruits such as blackberry and cherry stand out, enriched by an elegant spicy vein and slight nuances of tobacco and chocolate, a result of aging in oak barrels that further enhances its aromatic profile.
On the palate, the wine presents itself with a full and harmonious body, well balanced between lively acidity and soft, enveloping tannins. The long-lasting taste and its structure make it ideal to accompany rich dishes, such as roasts, red meat-based dishes, and aged cheeses.
Ideal for a tasting evening or as an elegant companion to celebratory meals, the Barbera d'Asti DOCG Superiore Lurei from Il Falchetto represents a classy choice for those who love robust yet refined wines. Keeping it in the cellar for a few years can further enrich its expressiveness, making it a valuable asset among selected Italian wines.
