Le Ciliegie

2013 Alba Barbera

Giovanni Manzone's Le Ciliegie is a delightful expression of Barbera from the prestigious Alba region, harvested in the esteemed 2013 vintage. This red wine showcases a vibrant crimson hue that hints at its lively character. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied profile that balances beautifully with its bright acidity, making it both refreshing and food-friendly. The fruit intensity shines through with prominent notes of ripe cherries, complemented by subtle hints of spice and earthiness, characteristic of the terroir. Its tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth texture without overpowering the fruit. This wine is dry, making it an excellent choice to pair with a variety of dishes, from rich pastas to grilled meats, truly capturing the essence of Alba's winemaking heritage.
