Barbera d’Alba Superiore DOC La Tina
Barbera d’Alba Superiore DOC La Tina
Barbera d’Alba Superiore La Tina is a red wine that goes perfectly with juicy meats, stuffed pasta and game dishes. A brilliant ruby red color emerges, which evolves to garnet with ageing. The nose releases notes of ripe plums, dark cherries, cocoa, burnt oranges and mocha. Medium bodied, with balanced tannins and a nice pungent acidity. To drink immediately or to store.
