Bart Hopkins of 67Wine.com writes | Wines made from the Barbera grape can often sit in the shadow of Barolo and Barbaresco, which is a shame because Barbera can be the source of seriously good wines. Food friendly Barbera can cover a range of stylistic profiles, from cheap and cheerful to elegant dining, and when taken up several notches, such as the The 2022 Barbera d’Alba Superiore from La Ganghija, it’s not only seriously good, it’s seriously delicious! Darkly colored with a lush, intense bouquet of crushed cherries, baking spices, vanilla and a touch of savory oak. Round and juicy in the mouth with a lovely intensity of flavor, harmonious balance and multilayered complexity that leads to a long and luscious finish. With excellent structure, character and mouth presence, this is Barbera at its very best, and true to its form, will deliciously complement almost anything at the table.
Winemaker Description
Wine of notable structure with intense ripe fruit aromas and hints of spice. Full-bodied and smooth on the palate. Excellent acidity with soft tannins from wood ageing.
