Duchessalia Barbera d'Asti Bio 75cl
★★★★★ 5.0 (1 review)You know that red that just gets along with everything on the table? This is it. Juicy cherry, a little dark berry, a fresh zip of acidity that keeps it lively instead of heavy. It's dry, it's organic, and it's the kind of bottle you open on a Tuesday and somehow it's empty by the time the food's done. Grab it for tonight's grill and thank yourself later.
Bright ruby in the glass, the colour practically glows. The nose is all ripe red fruit: cherry, raspberry, a darker note of blackberry and plum, with a quiet whisper of spice behind it. On the palate it's smooth and medium-bodied with that signature Barbera brightness, a fresh streak of acidity that makes your mouth water and pulls you straight back for the next bite. Dry finish, soft edges, nothing harsh. Easy company.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Piedmont in northwest Italy, the Asti hills where Barbera is the local hero grape. It's made by the Capetta family, now into their third generation of growing wine here, and this bottle is their certified-organic version: grapes farmed without synthetic chemicals and made with low sulfites. The DOCG on the label is Italy's top quality tier, basically a promise the region polices to make sure what's in the bottle is the real deal.
