WINE DESCRIPTION

Filippo Gallino Barbera d'Alba Superiore is grown in Roero in Piemonte. The vines are planted in calcareous soils that help retain water during the warm growing season. After harvesting and crushing the grapes, they are vinified in stainless steel tanks before being aged for approximately 12 months in barrels. They are matured for a further period in stainless steel tanks to hamonise the flavors before being bottled.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Filippo Gallino Barbera d'Alba Superiore has a deep ruby color and a nose that offers an enticing array of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle hints of spice and oak.On the palate, there is a harmonious balance between its vibrant acidity and velvety tannins. The flavors of red fruits persist, with additional notes of blackberries and plums, providing a delightful complexity. This wine has a full body, offering a satisfying broad and richly textured mouthfeel and a persistent finish.
