2023 Barbera d'Alba Superiore, Rocche Costamagna

A full and elegant Barbera from Rocche Costamagna in Langhe, Piedmont, made from 100% Barbera. The grapes are hand-harvested from selected parcels and fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks, then aged in large and small oak barrels for structure, depth and rounded fruit character. The continental climate and clay-limestone soils give balance and minerality. It shows ripe red and dark berries, light spice and floral aromas, with a juicy palate, integrated acidity and soft tannins. Medium-bodied, with a long, elegant, rounded finish.
