Brewed By:
Ducato
Self-Defined Style:
Barley Wine Barley wine of great character, matured for at least nine months in French oak barrels which previously contained great Italian red wine.
Copper colored with reddish tints and extraordinarily rich and complex in the nose, it releases aromas of red fruits (cherries, currants) and vanilla, with hints of wild berries, and it is reminiscent of a fine wine.
It has a warm-bodied mouth feel with no carbonation.
"A beer beyond preconceptions and clichés, dedicated to the man of tomorrow.
-Giovanni Campari, Brewmaster & artist
Best With:
With an invigorating warming quality and a robust alcoholic content, barley wines are the ultimate night cap beers. The round, viscous body of barley wine and its fruity complexity enable it to pair well with fresh vanilla ice cream. Some experts also recommend pairing a rich barley wine with a strong Cuban cigar.
