WINE DESCRIPTION

Scarpetta Barbera del Monferrato is a premium red wine produced by Scarpetta, a renowned winery in the Piedmont region of Italy. The wine is made from Barbera grapes grown in the Monferrato appellation, which is known for its hilly terrain and clay-rich soils that impart unique flavors to the grapes. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a rich and full-bodied red with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of oak. It is a perfect accompaniment to hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.
