Alfiero Boffa's Collina della Vedova Barbera d'Asti is made from Barbera grapes grown in the Piedmont region of Italy.

It is aged in French Oak barrels for one year, then bottled and aged another year. The wine is enjoyable now, or can be allowed to mature a further 4 years or more.

The bouquet is of licorice and cherry, with a peppery, coffee nose and some spicy vanilla and game streaks. The taste is ripe, round and fairly rich, with smooth, light tannins and a bitter back taste of licorice, prunes and toasted almonds. Cherry, smoky coffee, vanilla, licorice and black pepper flavours, with good acidity and balance.

Pairs well with rich pasta dishes, roasted or grilled red meats, wild game and strong cheeses.
