This wine is made from Barbera grapes carefully selected in the vineyards that extend over the hills of the Langhe, characterized by ideal soils to enhance the qualities of this vine. The vinification and refinement are masterfully conducted, combining traditional techniques with a touch of modernity to preserve the integrity of the fruit and develop a distinctive aromatic complexity.

Barbera d’Alba Costa Bruna presents itself to the eye with an intense ruby ​​red color, enlivened by purple reflections that denote its youth and vivacity. On the nose it offers a complex and seductive aromatic bouquet, with dominant notes of ripe red fruit, such as cherry and blackberry, enriched by spicy nuances of black pepper and delicate hints of vanilla and cocoa, the result of expert refinement in wood. On the palate it is full and enveloping, characterized by a pleasant freshness and a soft tannic texture that harmoniously balances its structure. The finish is persistent, with a fruity aftertaste that invites the next sip. This versatile wine lends itself to a wide range of food pairings. It is excellent with traditional Piedmontese first courses, such as agnolotti al plin or tajarin with meat sauces. It also pairs beautifully with roast or braised red meats, such as a sumptuous braised beef in Barolo, and with medium-aged cheeses. Its balanced acidity also makes it an excellent companion for mushroom-based dishes or a mixed grill.
