Il Cascinone Rive Barbera d'Asti Superiore 2022 - 6 x 750ml Bottles Description
A deep ruby Barbera with vibrant aromas of black cherries and prunes with notes of chocolate and toasty oak. An abundance of wild blackberries, black cherries and a touch of spice show through on the palate, which has a rich, voluptuous texture balancing taught acidity and fine oak tannins.
On the nose, expect concentrated dark fruit aromatics layered with subtle hints of cocoa and vanilla from careful oak aging. The palate reveals a complex interplay of ripe stone fruits and dark berries, with a whisper of white pepper adding intrigue. Silky tannins provide structure without overwhelming the wine's natural elegance, whilst the wine's acidity cuts through cleanly, ensuring excellent food pairing potential and cellaring capability.
Best enjoyed with rich meat dishes, aged cheeses, or simply as a contemplative glass on its own.
