The Piedmont region of northwest Italy is best known for its Barolo's, magnificent wines made from the Nebbiolo grape. These wines can age for decades, have great structure and are generally saved for special occasions. For every day, most people in the region turn to the easier more accessible Barbera wines. Among their many virtues, these wines are great with food, with its bracing acidity it is a brilliant accompaniment, refreshing the palate and stimulating the appetite. This wine exhibits all the classic varietal characters of Barbera.

This year's wine comes from a vineyard located in the foothills of Mount Canobolas. The cool climate and ancient volcanic soils combined to produce high-quality grapes with good intensity of flavour and high natural acidity.

Harvest date: 9th April 2023

The grapes were warm fermented in traditional open vats which were hand plunged. The wine was matured in older oak barrels for 12 months prior to bottling.

This wine has dry cherry and prunes aromas with wild herb background.

Savoury flavours dominate the palate which is medium-bodied and finishes with a firm acidity accompanied by fine soft tannins typical of this variety.

Barbera is a versatile partner with food. It is great with pizza, but also with all manner of meat sauces and grilled meats. If you are throwing a steak or sausages onto the grill, get out the Barbera!
