Cantine Povero Asti Barbera
The most authentic expression of Barbera, a vine cultivated in Monferrato already in the ‘500. Aged in stainless steel tanks, this Barbera allows you to appreciate the primary aromas of the varietal, including fruity notes such as cherry, orange peel, plum, and berries, and floral notes such as violet and elderberry. The color is an intense ruby red and the scent is particularly vinous and persistent. On the palate, freshness and pleasantness are distinguished. The barely mentioned tannins and the marked acidity make Barbera a very versatile wine in combinations.

The Estate
