Fratelli Grasso 'Matiné' Barbera d'Alba 2022

Only made in the best years, 'Matiné' is always deep opaque purple, with rich and abundant black cherry and a touch of tar. The finish is complex and powerful.

100% Barbera. After the 12-14 months in Botti for regular Barbera, it is transferred to used barrique for another 12-18 months. The used barrique tames the more powerful vintages.
