The Story
100% Barbera. Deep ruby red with a vibrant purple sheen — youthful and intense in color, typical of Barbera. Vivid and fruit-forward with inviting aromatic richness. Ripe black cherries, plums, and wild berries. Hints of violet, sweet spice, and a touch of vanilla (if partially aged in oak). Earth and dried herbs, though still largely dominated by fresh fruit due to its youth. Generous and juicy, with characteristic freshness: Lush notes of blackberry, dark cherry, and red plum. Bright and zesty — a hallmark of Barbera, giving lift and food-friendliness. Soft and approachable tannins, with a smooth, rounded mouthfeel. Medium to long finish, refreshing and fruit-driven, with a slightly spicy tail and a touch of minerality. Pair with pasta and tomato-based sauces (like Amatriciana or arrabbiata), grilled sausages or pork ribs, or mushroom risotto or eggplant parmigiana.
