CONTESSA DI CASTIGLIONE BARBERA D’ASTI DOCG

The vinous and intense bouquet introduces pleasant fruity scents, echoed by floral notes. On the palate a tannic, round and soft flavor is perceived. It is a wine that lends itself to refinement in the bottle for a maximum of about 3 years and tasted on every occasion.

Food pairings: perfect with typical Italian pasta and rice dishes Also pairs well with roasted red meat, braised meat with wine and white meat. Barbera d'Asti is ideal also in summer with fish soups, fresh cheese and vegetables.
