This is just what Barbera is all about. There are some producers in Piemonte that knows how to do it, often we find them in Asti. If you treat this grape with the expositions it demands and let the vines grow old you get wines of beautiful fruit that comes with the perfect acidity and structure.

Apr 11th, 2020Lovely wine to have with the final red meat dish. Some leather notes starting to come through while still full of life and richness. More weight than Aussie barberas and a lot more intrigue.

Feb 13th, 2017Outstanding! The bitters and cherry of a Manhattan! The oak here balances out any sourness with spice. Very, very nice. A great accompaniment tonight for mint-laced meatballs.
