The organoleptic aspect of this wine reveals a ruby red colour. Its scent recalls mature cherries, vanilla and violet, elements that make it more delicate if compared to “Barbera d’Asti Tre Vigne“. The taste is rich of sourness and sweet tannins, with a balanced presence of wood sensations, a good complexity and a pleasant final that recalls cherry.
