WINE DESCRIPTION

Cascina Chicco Barbera d'Alba Granera Alta is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Cascina Chicco winery in the Piedmont region of Italy. The wine is made from Barbera grapes grown in the Granera Alta vineyard, which is known for its ideal soil and microclimate conditions that produce high-quality grapes. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels for several months. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and complex red with a deep ruby color, intense aromas of dark fruit and spices, and a long, smooth finish. It is a perfect match for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.
