Scarpetta Barbera del Monferrato is a bright plum red color. Aromas of crushed berries and plums intermix with aromas of earth and porcini mushrooms. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied with bright acidity and low tannins, yet wonderfully balanced. The high acidity and low tannins let this wine work with everything from a pizza or homemade pasta to a piece of beef or pork.
