Tasting Notes
Rossofuoco meaning fire red, takes it names from the soils where these vines are planted. Organically farmed in an area with little other viticulture. This is a youthful, fresh Barbera which has been fermented and aged in stainless steel with neutral, fresh and fruity aromas of violet and red berry. Classic North Italian acidity on the palate follows the punch of dark fruit. Blackberry, liquorice and cherry flavours well balanced with soft but grippy tannins.
 
Food
This Barbera pairs with assorted sliced and cured meats, mixed boiled meats, and cheeses up to medium-mature
