Vinous 90 Points | The 2023 Barbera d'Alba is a boisterous, juicy wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Vinification and aging in a combination of cement and steel keeps the red-toned fruit wonderfully vibrant. Lifted floral notes linger on the close.
Winemaker Descrption
Deep purplish, almost impenetrable red. Elegant, sweet, and tempting, the intense and fruity notes characteristic of Barbera emerge. Vinous, fresh, and well-balanced. An easy to drink wine which is tasty and rich without being excessively heavy.
Perfect with Langhe cuisine and very tasty dishes in general. Excellent with pasts, rice, and soup, braised or grilled red meats, and medium mature cheeses. It is also perfect for aperitifs, with appetizers and sliced meats. Winemaker Description.
Memo Pairing Suggestions
Food Pairings: Highly versatile for "everyday" dining. Pairs perfectly with Langhe cuisine (tajarin with ragù), roasted chicken, grilled red meats, and medium-aged cheeses. It is also a rare red that works well as an aperitif with cured meats.

"The 2022 Barbera d'Alba is laced with super-fine dark red cherry/plum fruit, kirsch, mint, blood orange and sweet spice. Exotic and forward, with fine balance, the 2022 has quite a bit to offer."
