Brooding, complex, this barbera is a thing of beauty
Barbera is often described as Barolo's playful cousin, but this expression is serious business.

Barbera as a grape varietal is, by proximity, often looked at through the lens of its neighbouring nebbiolo expressions in Barolo and Barbaresco. It is in its own right, though, completely capable of producing compelling wines – case in point!

Why do we love this wine?
Aromatically it is quite light and jubey - a little confected raspberry and red liquorice give way to fruit leather and candied red apple. On the palate the wine seems to morph into a true northern Italian; more robust and brash but with slatey minerality and a graphite frame. Still it is youthful and bountiful with fruit, but make no mistake, this is stuffed full of complexity and intrigue. Bursting with dark fruit and a hint of earthiness, this Italian stallion is the perfect partner to pair with a calabrese pizza and good company.
