Riva Leone Piemonte Barbera 750 ML

This grape is known for its deep color, low tannins and high acidity level and this bottle appropriately captures each traditional quality. On the nose, this wine has an aroma of sweet plum and light spice, and is youthful and fruit-forward. Aromas of blackberries, plums and sweet spices give way to a ripe and juicy palet with soft tannins and a long, fresh finish.On the nose, this wine has an aroma of sweet plum and light spice, and is youthful and fruit-forward.

The house portrayed in the label shows his shop in the countryside of Alba. Italian classics such as Gavi and Barbera have been around for many a year, but the advent and uptake of modern winemaking techniques by producers such as Riva Leone is bringing these great wines to the attention of a whole new audience. Produced and bottled in a state of the art winery in Priocco, Riva Leone is a fantastic example of modern Italian winemaking at its best.
