Characteristics of Barbera di Chiarlo

Barbera d'Asti Nizza DOCG Piedmont red wine takes on an intense garnet color in the glass. Notes of violet and cherries in spirit mingle with cocoa and a toasted note. On the palate, consistency and a beautiful acidity drive the drink. Lavender and wild herbs finish the finish. Immediately warm and enveloping. Exciting.
