The long refinement in oak barrels and in the bottle softens the surly character of the Barbera and it gives this wine an excellent harmony. The Bricco Bonfante is a long-lived wine: if stored at constant temperature (12°-14°C) it can be drunk even after 20-25 years. The Bricco Bonfante shows in a very intense purple-red, with violet reflections. In the nose, it is a spectacle of aromas of ripe cherry and plum, with a slight wood note. On the palate it is impressive, extremely pulpy and has an exceptional fruit concentration. It’s very persistent, with a sweetness that slowly fades for a long and pleasant final.
