La Carlina Fontanavi Barbera d'Asti Superiore

A magnificent and beautifully expressive Piedmontese red wine displaying a deep, intense ruby-red color with brilliant purple highlights. The rich, highly complex nose opens with an opulent bouquet of ripe black cherries, dark plums, and wild blackberries, seamlessly layered with sophisticated notes of vanilla, sweet baking spices, cocoa powder, and a touch of crushed dried herbs. On the medium-to-full-bodied palate, it offers exceptional volume and textural depth, masterfully balancing its concentrated core of juicy dark fruit with Barbera's signature vibrant, refreshing acidity and a structural framework of velvety, well-integrated tannins that carry into a long, harmonious, and deeply savory finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with slow-braised beef short ribs, roasted duck breast, rich truffle mushroom risottos, grilled game sausages, and aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano.
