Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC 2024 - Gian Luca Colombo

A Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC from grapes grown in Magliano Alfieri at 290 metres altitude, from vines of about 50 years. It is aged for almost a year in large cask, with a small part in used barriques and tonneaux. It is deep and characterful, with an appagating fullness, and pairs well with first and second courses of meat, including sausage and turnip greens. On the nose it is broad, with black cherry, cassis and violet. On the palate it is full and body-rich, with velvety tannins and a persistent finish.
