Carlin de Paolo Barbera d'Asti Superiore Red: Elegance from Piemonte

The 'Superiore' designation confirms the commitment of Carlin de Paolo to quality, offering a Barbera d'Asti with enhanced structure and ageing potential. This is a refined Italian red, aged in French oak, that truly showcases the nobility of the Barbera grape in its native Piemonte terroir.

Tasting Notes

• **Colour:** Deep ruby with a slight garnet rim, indicating maturity and concentration.
• **Nose:** Expressive bouquet of dark forest fruits-blackberry, plum, and cherry-complemented by notes of sweet spice, rose, and a gentle woody lift.
• **Palate:** Generous and full, with a velvety mouthfeel. The signature high acidity of Barbera is beautifully softened by the oak, providing excellent balance to the rich fruit. Features fine-grained tannins and a long, elegant finish.

Food Pairing & Serving

A wine of this calibre demands hearty, slow-cooked dishes. Serve at 18°C (64°F) after a brief decanting. This wine will continue to evolve and delight over the next 5-8 years.
