Ca' di Bruno Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC 2022 750ml

Rich, smooth, and beautifully expressive, Ca' di Bruno Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC 2022 is a classic Piedmont red that showcases Barbera at its most serious and age-worthy. The Superiore designation indicates extended oak ageing — adding extra depth, complexity, and structure while preserving the variety's signature bright acidity and vibrant fruit character. A step up from standard Barbera d'Alba, and exceptional value for the quality on offer.
