This 2012 Cremosina from Bersano exemplifies the classical expression of Barbera d'Asti, Italy's premier barbera territory in the Monferrato hills. The wine displays the variety's characteristic deep colour and firm acidity, refined through careful ageing that has allowed secondary fruit notes and subtle oak integration to emerge with measured restraint. At twelve years from vintage, the wine has achieved a composed maturity, with tannins now softened into a silken texture. Serve alongside braised beef, game ragù, or aged hard cheeses to fully appreciate its structure and evolving complexity.
