Appellation	Barbera d'Asti DOC, Piedmont

Ruby purple, Barbera d'Asti is elegant and smooth, full-bodied with remarkable structure and an intriguing bouquet of menthol spice and fragrant dark fruit. Barbera is Piedmont's everyday red grape — naturally high in acidity and naturally low in tannin, which makes it one of the most food-friendly and versatile red wines in Italy.

The Producer — Cascina Valle Asinari, Piedmont

Cascina Valle Asinari is a certified organic estate in the Asti hills, farming Barbera with a commitment to the variety's natural expression: the high acidity, the dark fruit, the freshness that makes it such an ideal companion at the table. No manipulation, no shortcuts.

Tasting Notes

Ruby purple with violet hints. Menthol spice and fragrant dark fruit on the nose — blackberry, plum, dried herbs. On the palate: elegant, smooth, full-bodied, with the bright natural acidity that Barbera always delivers. The finish is clean and refreshing. A wine that wants food in front of it.

How to Serve

Serve at 15–17°C. No decanting needed. This is the wine you open while cooking.

Food Pairing

Pasta with tomato or meat sauce, pizza, roast chicken, grilled sausages, aged cheese. Barbera's high acidity makes it one of the great pizza and pasta wines — it cuts through the fat and amplifies the savoury flavours.
