About this wine
A Barbera d'Alba (Superiore) from a small southeast-facing vineyard on the Costabella hill in Serralunga d'Alba — 'Otin' means 'small' in the local Piedmontese dialect. Intense and focused, with bright black fruit, orange peel and a touch of spicy oak leading to a fresh, savory finish.
An approachable, food-friendly red — bright acidity makes it very easy to pair and enjoy
Sommelier's Note
"Otin Maté shows what Barbera can be when a Barolo house treats it seriously — vivid, structured, and far more than a everyday quaffer."
Food Pairings
A natural match for salumi, tomato-based pasta, grilled sausage, and semi-hard cheeses; its bright acidity cuts through fat easily.
When to drink it
