Elvio Cogno Bricco dei Merli Barbera d'Alba DOC 0,75 ℓ

Barbera d'Alba Bricco dei Merli comes from vineyards at 300 m asl, whose grapes are harvested between late September and early October. The vinification takes place in steel at a controlled temperature. After that the wine is aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for 12 months and then 6 months in the bottle. Barbera has a deep ruby red color and purple reflections. On the nose the aromas are reminiscent of roses, undergrowth and spices. In the mouth the wine is soft and warm, with a good structure and freshness. The sip refers to red fruit such as morello cherries and plums, with a persistent finish. The wine goes well with tasty and fairly fatty dishes: from succulent first courses to red meats to soft fatty cheeses.
