Elio Perrone – Tasmorcan 2025 Barbera d'Asti DOCG
The Tasmorcan 2025 is one of the most distinctive and beloved interpretations of Barbera d'Asti DOCG, crafted by winemaker Stefano Perrone at the Elio Perrone estate. Made from 100% Barbera grapes harvested in Castiglione Tinella, this red wine is designed to highlight the radiant, primary fruit character of the variety, skillfully balancing Barbera's signature crisp acidity with a rich, soft texture.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Intense, bright ruby red with vivid purple highlights.
- Nose: Fresh, intense, and fragrant bouquet dominated by notes of Morello cherry, fresh plum, raspberry, and blueberry, accompanied by floral accents of violet and subtle spicy hints.
- Palate: Juicy, well-structured, and nicely balanced on the palate. The natural freshness of the Barbera grape seamlessly blends with soft, polished tannins, delivering a full-bodied yet vibrant sip with a long, fruit-forward finish.
Food Pairings

- Red meat dishes, roast pork, veal cutlets, and savory noble poultry recipes.
- Artisanal Piedmontese charcuterie boards and medium-aged cheeses like Toma or Raschera.
