Textured and thought provoking wine with a opulent history, this tart and acidic blend is described by a distinctive flavor profile that includes cherry, cola, and clove notes, which are cohesive by a refined and silky texture, with a peppery close that hangs on the palate.

Voss Experts4.5

This Barbera d'Alba Superiore presents a deep ruby hue, indicative of its concentrated character. The nose is a vibrant tapestry of black cherry, plum, and a hint of anise, underscored by subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, it reveals a robust structure with well-integrated acidity that enlivens the rich fruit core, complemented by nuances of dark chocolate and a whisper of dried herbs. The finish is long and satisfying, showcasing the wine's impeccable balance and finesse. This wine exemplifies the classic elegance and depth of Barbera from the esteemed Cascina Dardi vineyard.
