The wine is bright ruby red with garnet shimmers, its nose is vinous and delicate at the same time, subtly reminiscent of alcohol-preserved cherries.
Bric dei Banditi
Barbera d’Asti
“Bric” means hill-top in Piedmontese, and bandits are daring and romantic: you sip this wine and you’re toasting with Robin Hood.
Bric dei Banditi is a splendid example of what can be obtained from Barbera grapes, the most widely planted in Piedmont.
