Rizzi Barbera d'Alba
This Barbera shows you the harmonious side of the terroir. It showcases fruitiness rather than strength and density. It is well structured, fine and linear to the last note. Ruby red with clear crimson highlights. It has a bouquet of blackberry and sour plum, with light vinous notes. A balanced body, with high acidity that makes the wine fresh and gastronomic.
