BARBERA D'ALBA

BARBERA ALBA CANTINA RIZZI TREISO

BARBERA D'ALBA DOC

THE WINE

This Barbera shows you the harmonious side of the terroir. It aspires to achieve fruitiness rather than strenght and density. It is well structured, fine and linear to the last note. The color is ruby red with clear crimson highlights. It has a bouquet of blackberry and sour plum, with light vinous notes. The body is balanced and the high acidity makes the wine fresh and gastronomic.

Serving Temperature: 16°C.

VINIFICAZIONE
Harvest:

manual in small crates, between late Semptember and the first ten days of October (with slight variations depending on weather conditions).
