The Gallino Filippo 2018 Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC is a red wine that tells stories of vineyards embraced by the sun of the Langhe, a region renowned for its extraordinary winemaking tradition. This wine is the authentic expression of a variety that knows how to adapt and respond to the climatic conditions of its territory, yielding surprising and refined fruits. With an alcohol content of 16°, the Barbera d'Alba Superiore presents itself with an intense, almost impenetrable ruby color, foreshadowing complexity on the palate.
On the nose, the aromas unfold into a symphony of fruity notes, where ripe black cherries stand out, blended with hints of plum and orange peel. These aromas connect to a light spiciness, with echoes of black pepper and vanilla that balance well with a touch of floral violet notes. On the palate, the silky and well-integrated tannin offers a robust and harmonious structure, culminating in a persistent and elegantly rich finish.
It is recommended to pair this full-bodied wine with substantial dishes such as braises, roasted red meats, or the classic Barbera risotto, allowing every sip to enhance the myriad flavors. Perfect for special occasions or family dinners, the Gallino Filippo Barbera d'Alba Superiore 2018 is the ideal companion for those looking to immerse themselves in the Piedmontese winemaking tradition, offering a tasting experience that speaks of passion and authenticity.
