Barbera from Barolo, Piedmont, Italy

Winemaker Notes

Pianoalto is a harmonic and soft wine; the wooden ageing provides a balance. Fleshy with alluring aromas that are intense and complex, ripe currant and spicy notes similar to pepper and tobacco.

Decanter – 90 Points

Sour cherry, damson, and earthy, forest floor characters. An elegant wine with notes of evolution; meaty, blood, tomato leaf, saltiness.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with traditional tajarin pasta with rich mountain butter, fonduta of strong cheeses, even fried egg with a runny yolk.
