Description
Calicanto is a characterful Barbera from the Monferrato area, crafted from hand-selected grapes grown on clay-limestone soils. Ruby red with aromas of cherry and ripe red fruits, it offers a full-bodied palate with lively acidity and soft tannins. Harmonious and expressive, it develops further complexity with bottle aging. Excellent with roasted meats, rich pasta dishes, and game cuisine.
Region
Piemonte
The Langhe and Monferrato hills produce Nebbiolo of extraordinary depth and precision. Barolo and Barbaresco anchor premium lists; Barbera and Dolcetto offer immediate character. Arneis and Timorasso are gaining fast international momentum among sommeliers.
