I heart Brezza. Perfect balance. Fruity and savory. Long and complex.

2020 vintage. Apparently, Brezza Giacomo e Figli is a certified organic producer in Barolo, known for crafting high-quality Barbera d'Alba Superiore. This was a well-structured Barbera I found best decanted for 30 minutes. Black fruit, herbs and white pepper on the nose. Medium body with notes of blackberry, tart cherry. and dried herbs and a play between moderate acidity and tannin with a exceptional medium length finish. This was perfect with pasta puttanesca and tuna and white bean salad.

2013. I loved it more with each drink. Not sure if I’ve had Barbera D’Alba with seven years of age before, but the cherry berry fruit flavors are great and the tannins and acidity are very balanced. Great with spaghetti and meatballs!

Slightly rustic and unrefined. Enjoyable for the price point.
