Tasting Notes: This `SuperBarbera` is produced from low yielding old vines. Unusually for Piedmont Barbera it is aged 12 months in French oak barriques. A rich, warm style with complex aromatics. The nose has the dark fruit, liquorice that you would expect, followed by soft vanilla and cedar notes. On the palate the wine is full bodied, warm and packed with dark cherry & blackcurrant, leading to hints of the vanilla and smoky spice. A wine to be savoured with huge potential for ageing.

The unique low alpine region of Piedmont (or Piemonte), which means `at the foot of the mountains`, is located in northwest Italy around the city of Turin. The region includes the small and prestige hillside wine towns of Barolo, Barbaresco, Asti and Gavi, where a diverse variety of wine styles originate. Some of Italy`s most revered and expensive red wines come from the Nebbiolo grape, grown alongside Barbera, Dolcetto, Moscato and Cortese.
