Barbera d'Asti DOCG Superiore

The Barbera d'Asti DOCG Superiore of Tenuta Garetto benefits from a calcareous sandy soil which allows an excellent ripening of the grapes while preserving a pleasant freshness. This characteristic means that, despite the fact that it is an important wine, it is always extremely drinkable and easy to combine with the table.

Pairing: cured meats, rich first courses, red meat, spicy cheeses

Longevity: 3 years
