2020 Castello di Uviglie Le Cave - Barbera del Monferrato Superiore DOCG
Tasting Notes
Inky ruby with deep saturation. The nose reveals black cherry, plum, and licorice, along with notes of balsamic and vanilla. On the palate, it is rich and powerful, with concentrated dark fruit, firm structure, and lively acidity. The finish is long and intense, leaving impressions of spice and dried herbs.
