Bricco dei Guazzi Barbera D'Asti
Region: Italy, Piedmont
Grape Variety: Barbera
Background: La Barbera, Monferrato’s diamond-point variety, finds its ideal climate amidst the Bricco Dei Guazzi vineyards, which is perfect for fostering the ripening process which gives the wine its renowned qualities: great character and optimal intensity.
Tasting Notes: This wine is a feast for the senses with loads of smoke, earth, spice, black pepper, mushroom, dark berry and meat on the nose. As if all that was not enough, the follow-through on the palate is lip-smackingly flavourful. This well balanced, dry, medium-bodied wine, with its soft silky tannins, will show well alongside grilled red meat and aged cheeses.
Food Pairing: This red wine pairs well with dishes that contain veal, pork, poultry even pasta dishes and game.
