ROCCA DEL ZOPPO
“BARBERA DEL MONFERRATO” D.O.C.
A “fizzy” wine, young and brilliant, with an intensely
bright ruby red colour. The aromas herald all this
wine can offer: vinous , fresh fruit and persistent
trace of maraschino cherry . The flavour is tasty, full
and balanced, tempered and made lively by a slight
fizzyness. It is a wine that can go very well with any
meal, offering its best with typical Monferrato dishes.
To be served at 14-15°C.
