What to Expect

Barbera is one of the classic Grapes of Italy's Piedmont region, though it is popular throughout much of Northwest Italy and has gained a following in California. Searing acidity has been a trait of Barbera though modern viticultural techniques and warmer regions have tamed the acidity, resulting in medium-bodied wines with bright, red fruit tones that feature hints of violets, earth and plum with just a whisper of tannin.

Winemakers Notes

The vineyards for this delightful Barbera are situated around Piemonte, on mid to high altitude sites with good exposure and a high content of clayey and calcareous marl soils. Fermentation is in stainless steel tanks. The wine is deep rustic red in colour with an aromatic, spicy nose of red fruits and damsons. Medium bodied and soft, with balancing structure to the blackberry and morello cherry flavours, it finishes rounded and supple with a hint of liquorice. It is excellent with pasta, particularly with a cheese based sauce, or meaty pizzas and pan fried or barbecued red meat.
