From: Piedmont, Italy
Varietal: Barbera
Taste: Delightfully juicy and fresh, this everyday Barbera charms with a berry medley. Cherries, blackberries, and raspberries meet aromas of rose petals, dried herbs, and baking spice notes wrapped in soft tannins and vibrant acidity. Chillable and affordable, you’ll want this as your year-round red!
Pairing: Perfect for an early evening aperitif, this lovely Barbera is also just as comfortable alongside pizza, pasta, Italian cuisine with and without meat, tomato-based dishes, and main courses with eggplant (check out the recipe below), takeout Italian or Mediterranean favorites like gyros and kebab.
