Barbera D'alba

2016 Barbera D'alba Barbera

The Fontanafredda Barbera D'Alba 2016 is a delightful expression of this renowned varietal, hailing from the prestigious Barbera D'Alba region in Piedmont, Italy. This red wine showcases a medium body that perfectly balances vibrant acidity, making it both refreshing and approachable. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering luscious notes of ripe cherry and blackberry that dance on the palate. Tannins are well-integrated and firm, providing structure without overwhelming the wine's fruit-forward character. This Barbera is beautifully dry, enhancing its food-friendly qualities and making it an excellent companion for a wide variety of dishes, from rich pasta to grilled meats.
