Tasting Notes

The Barbera ‘Bricco Paradiso’, produced only in the best vintages, is a real oenological pearl and one of the winery’s flagship wines. Bright ruby red, with scents of cherry, blackberry and raspberry, along with mint, spicy and coffee notes. Full and abundant with well-balanced acidity which makes it the perfect accompaniment to rich meat dishes, stews, game and aged cheeses.
