Light colour and soft tannins. Lots of primary fruit with dark cherries in particular. Not heavy on the spices, but offers hints of white pepper. This is a good value wine from Piedmont that isn’t complex, but fun to drink and a nice accompaniment to tapas plates. Drink now.
Drink through 2023.

Barbera Red grape variety originating from Italy. Well-known appellations include Barbera d'Alba DOC and Barbera d'Asti DOCG in the Piedmont. Barbera is mostly used to produce single-varietal red wines (though technically certain other red grapes can be added to the assemblage to a minor extent in most appellations) with a red fruit aroma and flavour, medium to high acidity and low to medium tannins. Some producers choose to mature their wines in barrique to give them more depth and complexity. |
