From the historic Fratelli Alessandria estate in Verduno, known for producing classic Barolo, comes this fresh and vibrant expression of Barbera d'Alba. Barbera, a grape celebrated for its high acidity and juicy fruit profile, is particularly well-suited to the clay and limestone-rich soils of the Alba region, and Fratelli Alessandria’s Barbera d'Alba is a perfect representation of the grape’s potential in this terroir. On the nose, the wine exudes aromas of ripe red cherries, plum, and a touch of blackberry, intertwined with hints of violet and a subtle spice. The palate is bright and lively, with the typical Barbera acidity providing a refreshing counterbalance to the ripe fruit flavors. Red currant, wild berries, and a touch of earthiness add complexity, while the soft tannins make this wine approachable and perfect for early enjoyment. The finish is clean, with a subtle note of almond and a hint of mineral that adds depth.
