The colour is a purple red with violet hints, the nose is rich, intense and spicy, showing how beautifully the deft use of oak has favoured the cohesion between the aromas of Cabernet and Barbera. On the palate, Sul Bric is full, round and savoury, giving the impression that its might has been wrapped in velvet.
The finish and the aftertaste are as long as they are pleasant.
Sul Bric
Monferrato rosso
Sul Bric is a Piedmontese expression indicating the knoll of a hillside, and the wine is a love-match between old wine Barbera and Cabernet Sauvignon.
