Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
A Barbera d'Alba Superiore from Cantina dei 5 Sogni, a small estate at Sant'Anna in Monforte d'Alba in the Langhe, made entirely from Barbera. The Superiore designation calls for longer ageing, part of it in wood, which rounds the grape's naturally high acidity and adds a light vanilla and sweet-spice note to ripe black cherry and plum. Juicy, fresh and food-friendly, it is at its best within roughly six years of the vintage.

Barbera
Barbera is a red grape from the Piedmont region of northwest Italy, long the everyday red of the area and now taken seriously enough to rival its noble neighbour Nebbiolo in quality-minded hands.
