Descrizione

Barbera d'Alba DOC Superiore - Tenuta La Rocca is born in the heart of the Langhe, a territory renowned for the quality of its red wines. Obtained from selected Barbera grapes, this interpretation fully reflects the vigorous and versatile character of this Piedmontese native grape variety. It is aged in oak barrels, a process that softens the tannins and enriches the bouquet with pleasant spicy and vanilla notes.

In the glass, it appears an intense ruby red with garnet reflections. On the nose, it expresses notes of ripe forest fruits, cherry, and plum, accompanied by hints of toast and sweet spices. The taste is full, balanced, and persistent, with a freshness that makes the sip enjoyable. Ideal to accompany red meat dishes, roasts, and aged cheeses, this Barbera d'Alba DOC Superiore offers an authentic and rewarding experience of the Langhe terroir.
