Altea

2004 Barbera D'asti Doc Superiore Barbera

Cantine Sant'Agata Altea is a stunning Barbera from the esteemed Barbera D'Asti DOC Superiore region, showcasing the charming characteristics of its varietal. The 2004 vintage greets you with a rich crimson hue, offering an inviting visual experience. On the palate, this medium-bodied red wine reveals a delightful balance of acidity, which beautifully lifts its flavors, making it an enjoyable companion to a variety of dishes. The tannins are notably firm yet well-integrated, providing structure without overwhelming the fruit-forward profile. Aromas of ripe black cherries, plums, and hints of spice gracefully intertwine, making it a vibrant and expressive representation of its terroir. This Barbera is also notably dry, allowing the wine’s brightness to shine through, making it a versatile choice for both casual gatherings and more refined dinner occasions.
