Il Cascinone Crocera Barbera d'Asti Superiore 2023 Description
Aromas of ripe black cherry, damson and toasty spice open this elegant Barbera d'Asti Superiore.
The palate reveals layers of plum and sour cherry fruit, supported by juicy acidity that brings freshness and vibrancy. Dark chocolate notes emerge on the finish, adding depth and complexity.
On the mid-palate, subtle hints of liquorice and dried herbs complement the fruit-forward character, while a whisper of leather adds structural intrigue. The wine's naturally high acidity cuts cleanly through the ripe fruit, leaving a persistent, mineral-driven aftertaste that lingers with a touch of tannic grip. A wine of real character and food-friendliness.
