The Barbera d'Alba DOC from Cascina Fontana expresses the Barbera variety within the Alba denomination. It shows a lively ruby color with purplish highlights; on the nose it presents a profile focused on red and black forest fruits, with notes of cherry and plum, accompanied by herbal hints and light spice. The aromatic intensity is restrained and nuanced, with freshness that characterizes its immediacy.

On the palate the wine tends toward a savory, easy-drinking profile, supported by fresh acidity and soft tannins; the body is medium and the taste remains balanced, with fruity recurrences and a clean finish. It pairs simply with everyday dishes such as soups, pasta with sauce, white meats and cured meats; it can accompany medium-aged cheeses. Serve at cool cellar temperature and consume within a few years to appreciate its liveliness. Recommended for those seeking a regional, versatile and approachable red.
