Araldica Barbera 2022
Piedmont, ItalyThis screwcap barbera is a lovely, fresh expression of this red-fruited grape. Bright and juicy, it jumps across the palate, spreading hints of plums and raspberries before the sour cherries tighten the finish. Soft tannins and a spicy licorice, almost balsamic finish add complexity to a perfect mid-week red. Araldica, one of Piedmont's largest and most forward thinking co-operatives, is situated in the Monferrato hills in the heart of Barbera d'Asti. Pizza, anyone? It's good value, and real wine.Tasted: 11 October 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $20.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
