Barbera.    The grapes are fermented in stainless steel and aged in neutral oak and cement vats. Resulting in a wine that shows fruit and earth without being marked by wood.    Bright plum red.    Aromas of crushed berries and plums intermix with aromas of earth and porcini mushrooms. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied with bright acidity and low tannins, yet wonderfully balanced.    The high acidity and low tannins let this wine work with everything, from a pizza or homemade pasta to a piece of beef or pork.    Barbera del Monferrato DOC.     Italy.
