Aculina

Italy’s tried-and-true, Barbera grape is a winemaker’s best friend. With workhorse productivity and adaptability to many climates, the grape has grown for centuries in Italy. This wine developed in Lombardy’s westernmost province bordering Piemonte offers a rustic, smoky aroma reminiscent of a leather shoemaker, which is appropriate given the blend’s old-world origins. The tannins and acidity are balanced, and black pepper spice softens the sour cherry notes, creating a savory blend perfect for enjoying on its own or pairing with charcuterie.
