Cantine del Castello di Santa Vittoria Piemonte Barbera

A magnificent Northern Italian red wine displaying a bright, approachable ruby red color. Sourced from the rolling hillside vineyards of Monferrato and Langhe within the historic Piedmont region, this pure expression of Barbera opens with an incredibly pleasing and fruit-forward bouquet of ripe blackberries, fresh red cherries, and wild strawberries, seamlessly intertwined with gentle suggestions of red fruit jam. The complex nose is beautifully supported by regional characteristics of dark baking spices, soft cinnamon, and a subtle touch of green peppercorn. On the palate, it balances a rich, juicy fruit core and a characteristically vibrant, mouthwatering mountain acidity with very light, soft tannins, concluding in a remarkably versatile, harmonious, and clean savory finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with traditional Italian cold cuts, assorted salumi, simple tomato-based pasta dishes, artisanal pizzas, and medium-aged cheeses.
