Barbera d'Alba DOC Granera Alta - Cascina Chicco

Barbera d'Alba DOC Granera Alta from Cascina Chicco is a red wine expressing the distinctive character of Barbera grown on hillside soils. It is an intense ruby red with violet reflections. The nose offers ripe red fruits such as cherry and blackberry, violet, and vanilla and black pepper from ageing in wood. On the palate it has balanced structure, lively acidity, soft well-integrated tannins and a full, enveloping taste leading to a persistent, harmonious finish. It pairs with Piedmontese dishes such as agnolotti with ragu and Barolo braised beef, as well as aged cheeses and grilled meats.
