Made from the finest clusters of Barbera grown on old vines on the Boschi vineyard. Light overripening of the grapes combined with 12 months of ageing in large casks of Slavonian oak produce a rich complex wine that is
reminiscent on the nose of dark fruit, calisaya bark and pipe tobacco. Powerful tannins.

 

This wine’s personality makes it ideal to serve with egg pasta – maybe best of all the typical local thinly-cut tajarin – slowcooked meat, and some dishes that call for the use of less noble cuts, such as kidney or sweetbreads. If you  love fish, it is a marvellous match for barbecued sliced eel.
