Scagliola – Sansi 2022 Barbera d'Asti Superiore DOCG

The Sansi 2022 is one of the benchmark cuvées produced by the renowned Scagliola estate, located on the rolling hills of Calosso in the heart of Monferrato, Piedmont. Made exclusively from 100% Barbera grapes harvested in top-tier vineyards, this full-bodied red masterfully blends the variety's vibrant natural freshness with a deep, smooth, and richly structured palate.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Intense, complex, and inviting aroma featuring ripe plum, dark cherries in spirits, and blueberries, beautifully layered with hints of vanilla, cocoa, tobacco, and sweet oak spices.
