WINE DESCRIPTION

Palladino Barbera d'Alba Superiore is a premium red wine produced by the Palladino family in the Piedmont region of Italy. The wine is made from Barbera grapes grown in the Alba appellation, known for its ideal vineyard features such as the hilly terrain and the calcareous soil. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels for a minimum of 12 months. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and complex expression of Barbera, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of vanilla from the oak. This wine is a perfect example of the high-quality wines that can be produced in the Piedmont region.
