Cascino Polsino at Alice Bel Colle in Piedmont, Italy.
My Beloved and I really enjoyed this wine. Heart-warmingly gentle and smooth on a wild and stormy night, with the windows rattling as a winter gale passed quickly by.
It accompanied our wonderful smoked salmon pasta dish, which was rich and powerful. This wine was both an excellent accompaniment to the meal and also a relaxing and leisurely wine afterwards. Thoroughly enjoyable!
Label description:
"Cascina Polsino is an estate extending over about 13 hectares at Alice Bel Colle, a village in an area of rare beauty in Piedmont. Here the conditions are ideal for the vines which have been cultivated for centuries with love and hard work and give us marvellous products in exchange. Among these is Barbera d'Asti Superiore, a wonderful deep red wine, with appealing perfumes and a balanced, elegant flavour. It is the perfect accompaniment to red meat, game and mature cheeses. Decant one hour before serving.
Winter gale?....I never noticed!!! ROFL ;)
