Descrizione

The Barbera d'Asti Superiore DOCG by Cesare Pavese, produced in the historic Vallebelbo, represents an excellent example of Piedmontese quality. This wine originates from Barbera grapes, a native variety known for its lively acidity and intense aromas. Its DOCG designation ensures a strict production process and a minimum aging of 14 months, during which the wine gains complexity and softness.

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color, followed by broad aromas ranging from fruity notes of cherry and plum to spicier hints and vanilla, due to aging in wood. On the palate, it offers a balanced structure, with refined tannins and a persistent finish that invites another sip. Perfect to accompany meat dishes, roasts, or aged cheeses, this Barbera is ideal for those who desire a rich and versatile wine, capable of telling the story of its territory.
