This value barbera coming from Piedmont, Italy is a medium bodied acidic red that proves the time tested fact that Italian wine always matches Italian food. I had this wine with a plate of pasta and meatballs and the wine’s acidity matched the acidity in the tomato sauce perfectly. On that note, if you don’t usually like Italian reds, this isn’t for you. There was also a hint of eucalyptus in on the palate. |
