Tasting Notes:
Nose of red fruits, black cherry and spices. The mouth, lively and fresh, is characterized by a pleasing acidity, soft tannins and a closure pleasantly fruity. An elegant and soft Barbera in its most traditional version. Sbilauta in Piedmontese language means seesaw, on which you swing looking for a balance. The name given to our Barbera, therefore, is a tribute to the equilibrium between acidity, tannins and alcohol, without the achievement of which it’s difficult to give birth to a quality Barbera.

Serving Suggestions:
It goes perfectly with cold cuts, soups, firs courses and slighly seasoned cheeses.
