Product description

Grapes: 100% Barbera.
Region: Italy> Piedmont> Monforte d'Alba> Raviola Vyd.
Notes: Sustainable farming. Oak cask aging. Tannin: Med. Acidity: Med.

Description: The Raviola estate, roughly 450 meters above sea level, boasts the ideal combination of calcareous soil, warm earth and deep humidity to grow splendid Barbera grapes. Extended maceration on the skins and aging in small French Tronçais oak barrels further deepen the wine’s richness.

Dark ruby in color with subtle garnet highlights, the aromas are intense and varied -- exuberant fruit notes evolve into balsamic and spicy sensations. The finish is persistent and enveloping. This beautifully balanced wine is ideal for pairing with savory dishes. Lovely to drink now, this bottle can age for 15-20 years.

Food Pairing: Roasts, braised meats, large game, very mature cheeses, etc.
