Fontanabianca

Red currant and pomegranate lead the way on this classic Barbera. As the wine evolves aromas of fresh herbs and crushed rock shine. The light-bodied wine dances on the palate with tart red fruits alongside subtle hints of worn leather and forest floor. A very pretty wine.

The nose mixes dry, earthy Italian notes with floral red fruit. The palate is alive that Barbera way, with bright acidity but not over the top. Plum, cherries, and savoury, dried herbs and earth mix with a silky texture, leaving this red poised to take on any fall and winter fare easily. A pork roast would be a perfect match at this point. This Barbera hails from Neive, Piedmont and the 30 year old vines are grown over clay and limestone 250 metres above sea level. The winemaking is traditional, with aging in large and small barrels for 9-12 months followed by 4-6 months in bottle before it is released.
