Barbera D'alba Barbera

The Fratelli Alessandria Priora Barbera from the Barbera D'Alba region is a stunning expression of Italian winemaking. This elegant red wine boasts a medium-bodied profile that balances perfectly with its bright and lively acidity, making it both refreshing and vibrant on the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing rich notes of ripe cherries, blackberries, and plums, complemented by subtle hints of spice and earth. The tannins are notable yet well-integrated, providing just the right amount of structure without overwhelming the fruit character. This Barbera is dry, delivering a clean and satisfying finish that leaves you wanting to take another sip. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of dishes, this wine is a testament to the outstanding quality of Barbera D'Alba wines.

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.
