Barbera D'alba
Barbera d'Alba is an important DOC wine produced in the region of Piedmont in northwestern Italy. The region covers the area of Alba as well as the surrounding hills of Langhe. The limestone, chalky and clay soils in this region are very favorable to the production of Barbera. Barbera d'Alba must be made with at least 85% Barbera grapes. The other 15% can be made up of Nebbiolo, another commonly grown grape in the Piedmont region.

Tasting notes
Barbera d'Alba wine tends to have mild tannins with high acidity. Black cherry, berry (strawberry and blackberry), violet, lavender, vanilla and nutmeg notes are all commonly found in Barbera d'Alba. Its complexity in flavour makes it a truly celebrated wine. We recommend pairing with a tomato and meat pasta sauce, such as all'Amatriciana, as they will pair well together.
