The 2015 Barbera d'Alba Superiore is another attractive, entry-level wine from Chiara Boschis. Sweet red cherry, plum, blood orange and a kiss of French oak infuse this expressive, gracious Barbera. Drink it over the next few years.

The 2015 Barbera d'Alba Superiore sees fruit sourced from various vineyard sites. Barbera is planted on the lower parts of the same vineyard parcels that produce the estate's best Nebbiolo. The wine undergoes a light and non-intrusive winemaking approach with one year of neutral oak. The results are extremely polished, clean and generous. Dark fruit, plum and spice appear on the finish.
