WINE DESCRIPTION

Abbona Rinaldi Barbera d'Alba is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Abbona Rinaldi winery in the Piedmont region of Italy. The wine is made from the Barbera grape variety, which is grown in the vineyards of the Alba appellation. The vineyards are situated on hilly terrain, which provides excellent drainage and exposure to sunlight, resulting in grapes with intense flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, complex and elegant red wine with notes of dark fruit, spices, and a hint of oak. It is a perfect accompaniment to hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Abbona Rinaldi Barbera d'Alba is a complex and rustic red wine with aromas of ripe red fruits, spices and a hint of leather.On the palate, it is full-bodied with intense flavors of black cherry and blackberry, complemented by notes of baking spices, licorice and earth. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, and the finish is long and savory. A truly excellent expression of Barbera from the Piedmont region.
