Sant'Agata us located in the province of Asti in the heart of Piedmont.
The Cavellero family founded the winery in the early 1990s,
focusing on the main grape varieties that make the Piedmont area
such a big part of Italian wine making. This wine is fermented insteel, then 80% is aged in 200 gallon oak casks, while 20% is aged in smaller 60 gallon oak barrels. This ensures a rich full bodied wine, finely balanced without overwhelming the essence of the Barbera grape. Tasting Notes: Gorgeous bouquet, suggestive of dark cherries and chocolate; in the mouth it is rich, full, and velvety with a hint of dark berries and spicy overtones. Perfect accompaniment to a rich pasta, roast lamb or beef. |
