A straight forward barbera. 12 months of oak gives it some good tannins and a hint of vanilla on the finish. In the nose and mouth its spicy with good fruits.Good with bbq's or pasta and meat suace.

Top-notch Piedmont producer creates an intense Barbera from low-yielding vineyards.
The robust and straightforward Barbera is appreciated throughout Piedmont for producing flavorful and approachable wines. Giardin is no exception - it is the estate’s reserve Barbera made from a selection of the best grapes and is only produced in the finest vintages. Giardin is an elegant, modern-style Barbera that spends 12 months aging in oak barrels creating a wine with great concentration.

Top-notch Piedmont producer creates an intense Barbera from low-yielding vineyards.

The wine has a ruby color that is so dark it is almost opaque. The nose is greeted by a bouquet of spices, flowers, and fruits, especially ripe strawberries, blueberries and plums. This is a very concentrated and full-bodied wine, with delicious soft tannins leading to a great finish of fruit with a hint of vanilla from the oak. This very pleasant wine goes well with barbecues, pasta, cheese, and meats with strong, flavorful sauces. Due to its excellent quality, it can keep for 5 to 7 years.
