Fontanafredda "Raimonda" Barbera
Red wine | Barbera d’Alba DOC
The secret sauce of Piedmontese gastronomy!
If the Alba region is famous for its white truffle, it is also famous for its wines. Barbera is an ideal companion at the table, and this ''Raimonda'' is a superb example. It offers very intense and characteristic aromas of morello cherry and blackberry, with fine notes of vanilla, pepper and licorice. Rich, velvety, this red wine is also lively but not very tannic, which allows it to go well with many dishes!
