Tasting Notes
COLOR:
In the glass, Bosio Barbera d'Asti reveals an alluring ruby-red color that is both inviting and expressive.
NOSE:
The wine's bouquet is a delightful symphony of red fruit aromas, dominated by ripe cherries and plums. Hints of violets and subtle notes of baking spices and tobacco contribute to its complex and inviting aroma.
TASTE:
On the palate, this Barbera showcases a medium to full body with a harmonious balance of fruit and acidity. The flavors of red berries and stone fruits are complemented by a touch of vanilla and a gentle undercurrent of well-integrated oak.
FINISH:
The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a memorable impression of ripe fruit and a nuanced spiciness.
Food Pairing
This Barbera d'Asti is a versatile wine that pairs harmoniously with a variety of Italian and Mediterranean dishes:
Pasta with Tomato-Based Sauces:
Pair it with classic Italian pasta dishes like spaghetti alla marinara or pappardelle with a rich Bolognese sauce, allowing the wine's acidity to complement the tomatoes and herbs.
Grilled Meats:
Enjoy it with grilled sausages, rosemary-infused lamb chops, or a succulent ribeye steak for a delightful interplay of flavors.
Aged Cheeses:
Serve alongside a cheese platter featuring Parmigiano-Reggiano, Pecorino Romano, or a well-aged Gouda for a delicious pre-dinner appetizer.
Mushroom Risotto:
The wine's earthy notes beautifully complement the earthiness of a well-prepared mushroom risotto.
Roasted Duck:
Consider pairing it with roasted duck, as the wine's acidity and fruitiness can cut through the richness of the meat.
