Barbera
Known for producing wines that are richly fruity and earlier to consume versus their Nebbiolo counterparts, our Riva Leone Barbera delivers big flavor and complexity that exhibit Black Cherry and spice in a full frame.
Soil
Mostly calcareous clays on gradually sloped hills
Tasting notes
Deep-ruby garnet in color, the fruit forward nose exhibits black cherry and spice followed by a lush, medium-full bodied palate and a rich fruit finish.
Food pairings
Pairs especially well with Bolognese but is a classic pair for all types of pasta.
