Filippo Gallino Barbera

$15.00

Varietal Birthplace Year
Barbera Piedmont 2008
From a small winery in Italy's Piedmont region, this fragrant Barbera was aged without oak, keeping its fruit flavors fresh and dominant. Lovely cinnamon and plum scents waft from the glass with notions of herbs, violet and tar. The wine is ripe, with sweet red-fruit flavors and an herb-inflected finish.
Spicy plum, blackberry, hibiscus, mushroom and thyme.
Though it's less well-known than Piedmont's other red grape, Nebbiolo, Barbera produces food friendly wines that are often great values as well. Its low tannins, firm acidity and berry fruit flavors give it an easygoing style that, in bottlings like this one, can offer real complexity, too. Filippo Gallino and his son, Gianni, farm 30 acres of vines in the town of Canale; at harvest time, the whole Gallino clan pitches in to pick grapes. A complement to the bigger, oak-aged Barberas the Gallinos make, this wine shows off the juicy, supple side of the grape. Fewer than 1,000 cases were made.
Barberas are friendly with everything from pasta and pizza to poultry, pork and red meats. For something different, I decided on my recipe for Warm Pasta Salad with Spinach and Mushrooms. Give it a try.
For many people, Barbera is a favored pizza wine.
