Denominazione Di Origine Controllata
Vintage 2008 13.5% 75cl.
Dry, strong wine, very grippy. Excellent with winter approaching. A must have with food. Unusual good value for a barbera.
You have to be a bit mad to try and make drinkable and affordable Barbera. This wine manages to achieve this. This Barbera is made from carefully selected grapes grown around the village of Nizza, home of some of the best Barbera vines in Piemonte. Ripe grapes and careful vinification have given a wine with good colour and soft, easy and vibrant fruit. In order to preserve as much of this fruit as possible, the wine was subject to minimal treatment. As a result, it may throw a light but harmless sediment.
Food Suggestion:
Coarse terrine/pate, cured and roasted meats.
