La Caudrina Romano Dogliotti Barbera d'Asti Superiore Montevenere Nizza 2018

La Caudrina's Montevenere Nizza 2018 is an exceptional Barbera d'Asti Superiore DOCG from the renowned Nizza Monferrato region in Piedmont, Italy. Crafted exclusively from Barbera grapes harvested from a 1.5-hectare vineyard planted in 1975, situated at 250 meters above sea level with south to southwest exposure, the vines thrive in calcareous soils on a 20-30% slope, contributing to the wine's distinctive character.

In the glass, Montevenere presents an intense ruby red color with intriguing purple reflections. The bouquet is ample and complex, featuring notes of coffee, cacao, and vanilla, harmoniously integrated with persistent fruity undertones. On the palate, it is well-bodied and harmonious, with pleasant, persistent tannins.

This Barbera d'Asti Superiore pairs excellently with flavorful pasta dishes, such as those with meat or mushroom sauces, as well as main courses of red meat or game. It also complements blue and aged cheeses, making it a versatile choice for a variety of culinary experiences.
