| 75 | | | 92 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Grown not only in Italy’s Piedmont (or Piemonte) but also in California’s Shenandoah Valley, in North Carolina, now in North Georgia and even in Argentina, Barbera makes a dry red wine with soft tannins and good fruit. Grown both in Alba, like this example, and in Asti, also located in the Piemonte, and it‘s D.O.C. for both, Barbera is one of Italy’s classic grape types. Medium-bodied with a medium-deep purple red color, this example shows aromas and flavors that portray black plums and black currants, and tannins are soft and easy. Moderate alcohol, 13%, helps it to go with food or to work as an aperitif wine. Best served cool, at about 62-65F/16-17C, in a medium-sized tulip-shaped glass.
Suggested Food Pairings:
Pâté forestière; bresaola, sorpressata and other cured meats; cold grilled chicken and roasted red peppers; caponata (eggplant, tomato, olives and peppers, served room temperature); muffaletta; roast chicken; chicken livers sautéed with prosciutto and red wine; grilled mild Italian sausage; Sicilian-style lasagna (just meat and tomato).
