Franco Amoroso Barbera d'Asti Superiore 2018

Franco Amoroso is a small producer of excellent quality wines. In Asti, Barbera get's the royal treatment; prime vineyard locations and hands-on attention and care. This wine is a DOCG Superiore which is reserved for the biggest, most intense wines. This wine is aged 12 months in oak barrels (6 more than required for Superiore) and then 6 months in the bottle before release.

It shows the bright vibrancy that this grape is known for but with additional backbone and hints of compelling vanilla spice from the oak.
