Cabutto's Barbera d'Alba Superiore, made from estate-grown Barbera in the Barolo production zone. Aged to the minimum twelve months required for the Superiore designation with a period in oak, the wine shows the variety's characteristic dark cherry and plum fruit, violet and light baking spice, framed by Barbera's signature bright acidity and soft, approachable tannin.
Barbera at its most drinkable — juicy, bright, and never fussy.
