Description
This 100% Barbera red is the Doc Oltrepo’ Pavese appellation from Castello di Cigognola Winery, located in the province of Pavia, in the region of Lombardy in northern Italy.
Unlike many of the other red grapes in the Piedmont, Barbera has a relatively long hang time on the vine, which imparts a lot of rich, dense flavours to the wine.
This is an excellent Barbera, barrel aged for 12 months.
As Barbera is known for its acidity, it pairs well with rich fatty foods and red meats.
