Curation Note

The Tasting

A guided note in three moments, by our curators

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    This Barbera d'Alba presents a vibrant ruby red hue, hinting at its youthful exuberance, with subtle garnet reflections that speak of its varietal character. Its bouquet is a captivating dance of ripe cherry and plum, interwoven with delicate notes of violet and a whisper of earthy undertones, a classic expression of Piemonte's finest Barbera.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, it offers a refreshing acidity that beautifully balances the rich fruit flavors, leading to a smooth, medium-bodied texture that coats the tongue. The finish is persistent and pleasingly dry, with a lingering echo of dark fruit and a refined tannic structure that invites another sip.

  3. At the Table

    03

    This wine is a versatile companion, perfectly suited for hearty pasta dishes like agnolotti del plin, grilled meats such as Fiorentina steak, or a classic selection of aged Italian cheeses. It also shines alongside rich risottos or a slow-cooked braised lamb.
