Cascina Bruciata Barbaresco Rio Sordo 2018

A Barbaresco DOCG from Cascina Bruciata, intended as a representative introduction to the denomination. The grapes ferment spontaneously in stainless steel with about 20 days of skin maceration at 30 °C, then age for 24 months in oak barrels. It is a structured, tannic wine with refreshing acidity, best left to rest in the cellar for a few years. In the glass it is an intense, bright ruby red. The nose offers liquorice, mint, pipe tobacco, cherry and tobacco. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with strong acidity and firm, slightly restless tannins. It suits game, red meats and aged cheeses, and is worth trying with mixed boiled meats.
