picture of

The Boroli Barbera d'Alba has a deep red color with purple reflections. The nose develops a rich bouquet of red berries, cherries, and plums, often subtly complemented by hints of spice or light herbs. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and supple, with a fresh acidity that balances the structure. The soft tannins and flavors of red fruit and berries lead to a long and harmonious finish.
