Prunotto Barbera D’Alba 2014, Barbera d’Alba DOCG, Piedmont, Italy

Barbera_dAlba_2011

Appellation: Barbera d’Alba DOCG

 

Blend: 100% Barbea

 

Vintage: 2014

 

Tasting note: The wine has a ruby red in color with purple highlights, grapey in aroma with floral (roses) and spicy notes from the aging in oak, full and balanced in flavor. A very versatile wine, its roundness and suppleness make it an excellent match with a full range of dishes as, for example, the traditional fried meats and vegetables and the pot-au-feu of Piedmont.
