Marchisio - Barbera d'Alba rosso 2018
Barbera d'Alba – A classic Italian red wine with freshness and fullness
Barbera d'Alba is a classic Italian red wine that offers an intense taste experience, known for its deep color and approachable structure. Produced exclusively from the Barbera grape from the Alba region of Piedmont, this wine displays a unique balance between freshness and fruitiness that makes it suitable for many different dishes and occasions.
Taste – Rich and Fresh
On the palate, Barbera d'Alba presents a good fullness, combined with a characteristic but pleasant acidity that gives the wine a refreshing edge. The fruitiness is marked and nicely balanced by the acidity of the wine, which helps to create a harmonious flavor profile. The taste notes mirror the aroma, with distinct dark fruits such as blackcurrant and blackberry, followed by a soft structure. The tannins are milder than in many other red wines, which makes the wine round and drinkable - even at a young age.
Produced at Barbera – A versatile and food-friendly grape
The Barbera grape contributes with its intense color and high acidity, which makes the wine an obvious choice for different types of dishes. Its low tannins and refreshing acidity make it extremely versatile in relation to food – from tomato-based pasta dishes to grilled meat and Mediterranean dishes. The wine also works excellently with cheeses and antipasti, where its freshness and fruity character can complement the food.
A wine for every occasion
With its easy drinkability and approachable style, Barbera d'Alba is a perfect wine for both everyday life and festive occasions. It can be enjoyed young for its fresh and fruity character, but also has the potential to develop depth and complexity with aging.
In short, Barbera d'Alba is a harmonious wine with great versatility that brings out the rich wine traditions of the Piedmont region in the best possible way.
