A Barbera d'Alba DOC with an intense ruby-red color and violet highlights. A captivating fragrance of maraschino cherry, musk and blackberry leads to an elegant, harmonic body with gentle acidity, good structure, marked fruitiness and vanilla notes from oak aging.
Nicolon shows Barbera's ability to carry oak gracefully without losing its trademark vibrant acidity.
