La Martina

Asti Barbera

Introducing the delightful Crotin La Martina, a red Barbera from the celebrated Asti region in Italy. This wine is a true testament to the rich winemaking traditions of its terroir. It has a beautifully balanced medium body that is both light enough to sip on its own and robust enough to pair with a variety of meals. The high acidity is lively and mouthwatering, making each sip incredibly refreshing, while the medium tannins provide a nice structure without being overly assertive. You'll be enchanted by the pronounced fruit intensity, with vibrant notes of red cherries and plums dancing on your palate. This Barbera is dry yet remarkably fruit-forward, making it an accessible yet complex wine for both novices and seasoned connoisseurs. Its accolades and the storied vineyards from which it hails ensure that Crotin La Martina will leave an indelible impression on your taste journey. Cheers to exploring the exceptional expressions of Asti!

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
