Traversa Barbaresco Starderi 2021

This traditional Barbaresco is typically 100% Nebbiolo, characterized by its notable clarity and a pale to medium ruby-garnet hue. The aromatic profile is complex and prominent, leading with red fruits like raspberry and dark cherry jam alongside classic floral notes of violet and rose petals. These are layered over a savory foundation of leather, forest floor, and minerals, with subtle accents of clove and eucalyptus. On the palate, the wine is dry and medium-full bodied, supported by a firm backbone of high acidity and structural tannins. Flavors of cherry and spice evolve into a lingering finish where savory notes of tobacco and licorice become increasingly integrated with age. Pair with roasted or braised meats, aged Alpine-style cheeses, and hearty pastas with rich sauces
