Barbaresco

This medium to full-bodied red produced in Piedmont with the Nebbiolo grape. It is known to be a bit more approachable than its neighbour Barolo, also made with Nebbiolo, as it is slightly less tannic and not quite as bold. The Barbaresco (and Barolo) regions are on the Liguria side of Piedmont, located south of Torino. Barbaresco is less tannic than its neighbor because the region in which the grapes are grown has limestone-based soils, leading to a different tannic level in the wines produced.

Tasting notes
Barbaresco will pair well with duck dishes, in particular duck ragù paired with long strands of pappardelle or other egg pasta. The medium tannins and bright acidity will match with the richness of fresh egg pasta as well as a hearty duck ragù. Barbaresco traditionally has strong red fruit flavours, including cherry and raspberry, which will complement the flavour of duck.
