Description

Barbera wines are generally known for their deep ruby colour, low tannins and high acidity, making them food friendly and approachable and the 2022 Froi from Massimo Rivetti is no exception. The organic Barbera grapes are sourced from a single vineyard surrounding the family estate, and the wine is aged in steel and cement tanks to preserve its freshness and straightforward character. The 2022 vintage is noted for its abundant fruitiness and expressive notes of black cherries, mulberries and light spices. Its clear structure and soft tannins make it easy to reach for another glass.
