NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Giacomo Conterno Barbera d'Alba Cerretta has a bouquet of vibrant red cherry and wild strawberry aromas, with a hint of rose petal and spice.On the palate, it has a medium body with soft, silky tannins and a bright acidity that lifts the flavors of more red fruits and a hint of crushed herbs. The finish is long, with a hint of dark chocolate and a pleasant earthiness. This is a delicious and well-structured wine that will pair nicely with a variety of dishes.
