Profile & Story
The Riva Leone name honors an Alba wine merchant who, in the early twentieth century, began bottling the wine he had previously sold on tap to his customers; the house depicted on the label is his shop in the Alba countryside. This Barbera d'Alba is produced and bottled at a modern winery in Priocca, Piemonte.
Tasting Notes
Barbera d'Alba is typically dark ruby in color, with aromas of black cherry and plum lifted by spice; the palate shows Barbera's hallmark bright acidity balanced by soft tannins and a fruit-forward finish.
