Il Barbera d'Asti DOCG Superiore di Ricossa si presenta in una spettacolare versione Magnum, elegantemente astucciato. Questo vino rappresenta un perfetto connubio tra tradizione e innovazione, nel rispetto delle antiche pratiche vitivinicole piemontesi. La Barbera è un vitigno autoctono che da sempre caratterizza le colline astigiane, e questa etichetta ne esalta le qualità al meglio.

All'apertura, si notano subito i profumi intensi e complessi che spaziano dalla ciliegia matura ai frutti di bosco, con sfumature di spezie dolci e vaniglia, dovute al lungo affinamento in botte. In bocca, il vino rivela tutta la sua struttura: morbido e avvolgente, con tannini ben integrati e un'acidità vivace che lo rende estremamente piacevole da bere.

Il Barbera d'Asti DOCG Superiore di Ricossa è ideale per accompagnare piatti ricchi e succulenti, come arrosti di carne, brasati e formaggi stagionati. La versione Magnum, oltre a garantire una migliore evoluzione del vino nel tempo, è perfetta per occasioni speciali e conviviali, rendendo ogni brindisi unico ed indimenticabile. Questo vino è una celebrazione del territorio piemontese e della maestria enologica che lo contraddistingue.
