Get to know: Cantine Povero, Barbera d'Asti 'Dianae'
Tasting Note
A velvety, fruit packed Barbera. The aroma is vibrant with intense notes of raspberry and cherry. Full bodied, velvety on the palate with flavours of cherries, prune, but also liquorice and spices. This has a comforting warmth and finishes dry with decent length.
Try with Italian-style sausage and lentils
This wine has no added sulphites (SO2).
