Varietal Birthplace Year
Barbera Piedmont 2007
Pungent aromas of black plum, black raspberry, violet and lightly singed meat set the stage for the rich palate where notes of leather, tar and vanilla accentuate low-toned black and blue fruit flavors. This classic Piedmont Barbera showcases solid flavor impact, balanced tannins and high levels of acidity.
Black plum, violet, leather, vanilla.
The Marchisio family has owned and operated Cascina del Pozzo, in the heart of Piedmont’s Barbera d’Alba production zone, for three generations. While Barbera is widely planted and accounts for over half of the red wine vines grown in northern Italy, it is thought to reach its greatest expression in the relatively cool climes and sandy, lime rich soils of Alba. Flavio Marchisio took over the property from his father in 1973, and today, the estate is tended by his children, Gianmario, Denise and Stefano. While specializing in producing world-class Barbera, they also bottle small amounts of Nebbiolo and Arneis.
Barbera’s relatively high acidity, moderate tannins and lower alcohol levels can support a huge array of foods. It’s a natural with animal protein, from cold cuts and salumi to thick stews and roasts. Barbera is also an excellent match for pizza and tomato-based pasta dishes. The grape also has a natural affinity for edible fungi—from porcini mushrooms to white and black truffles. And don’t forget the cheese! Fontina, Piave and Taleggio work especially well, along with the northern Italian dish fonduta, which is a variation on the traditional Swiss cheese fondue.
When yields are reduced and grapes picked at optimum ripeness, Barbera from Alba can deliver a very satisfying experience at a reasonable price.
