Marchesi di Barolo Barbera d'Alba Ruvei 2023
From one of Piedmont's most storied estates, the Ruvei is Marchesi di Barolo's tribute to Barbera d'Alba — a grape that thrives in the Langhe hills with an energy and generosity all its own. Harvested from estate vineyards in the heart of the Alba DOC, the 2023 vintage captures a season of exceptional balance: warm days, cool nights, and the kind of expressive fruit that makes Barbera impossible to resist.
In the glass, Ruvei opens with vibrant aromas of Morello cherry, fresh plum, and a whisper of violets. The palate is juicy and full-bodied, with Barbera's signature bright acidity cutting through a core of ripe dark berry and subtle spice. The finish is clean, lingering, and remarkably food-friendly.
