Cottá Barbaresco DOCG 2014

Color
This red wine presents itself in an intense ruby red that gently fades into brick-red nuances at the edges.
Scent
The bouquet invites with its complex character. The deep notes of dark earth, black truffle, the biting sweetness of liquorice and decadent dark chocolate rise immediately. Let it breathe and discover additional highlights of Amarena cherries and pickled dark berries, plum jam and dried dates. A blend of marinated, grilled Mediterranean greens adds a refreshing ethereal note.
Taste
On the palate, the wine impresses with its luscious character, which suits the nuances of the bouquet in detail. It already shows itself to be open and charismatic, with plenty of juice and a hint of minerality. The fine-grained yet powerful tannins weave seamlessly with the gentle acidity. Despite its obvious youth, you can detect a hint of finesse that comes into its own when the wine reaches the peak of its drinking maturity. If you can't wait, give it at least two hours to breathe before enjoying.
Food recommendations
Enjoy this wine with pappardelle in a sugo jazzed up with rabbit and braised courgettes. It would also go well with a beef steak drizzled with balsamic and served with rosemary potatoes. For a cheese option, we recommend a mature Taleggio, which goes wonderfully with a fruity bread.
