Region: Piedmont
Country: Italy
Grapes: Barbera
Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
A bright, food-friendly Barbera showing the grape's trademark sour cherry and blackberry fruit, lifted by vivid natural acidity and a hint of violet and balsamic. The Superiore designation suggests some oak ageing and a touch more structure than a standard Barbera d'Alba, rounding the palate without masking the grape's lively freshness. Josetta Saffirio is a small, quality-focused estate in Monforte d'Alba, and their wines tend toward an honest, terroir-driven style rather than heavy extraction.
Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.
