The Barbera “Vho” from the winery of Claudio Mariotto is a red wine that originates in the Colli Tortonesi region, an area of Piedmont near the Ligurian border, where this historic grape variety expresses itself with intense and pleasantly rich wines. This version of Barbera showcases good aromatic complexity. The choice of a long aging process in wood tends to soften the lively youthful exuberance typical of the grape, favoring a more harmonious and balanced profile. It is a red wine that expresses beautiful fruity notes of cherry, sour cherry, seductive nuances of vanilla, and spices, all contributing to a rich and multifaceted aromatic picture.<\/p>\n
