Pian Scorrone

2012 Barbera D'asti Red Blend

Il Falchetto Pian Scorrone is a captivating red blend from the esteemed Barbera d'Asti region, showcasing the winegrowing expertise of the area. With its deep ruby color, this 2012 vintage exudes a sense of warmth and richness. The wine offers a medium body, balanced with bright acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of ripe blackberries, cherries, and hints of plum that dance harmoniously together. Tannins are well-structured yet approachable, adding a delightful firmness without overpowering the wine's overall character. This red blend is also on the drier side, making it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes. Enjoyable now, it also has the potential for further aging, allowing it to develop even more complexities over time.

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.
