The Porta Rossa Barbera D'Asti DOC 2021 is a stunning representation of the Barbera grape from the Piedmont region of Italy. Deep ruby in color, this wine presents a bouquet of ripe dark berries, plums, and a hint of spice on the nose. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a smooth and velvety texture, showcasing vibrant flavors of black cherry, raspberry, and a touch of black pepper. The tannins are well-integrated and the acidity provides a refreshing balance to the fruit-forward profile. The finish is lingering, with a touch of tobacco and a subtle minerality that adds complexity. This vintage, produced by the esteemed Piccini winery, is a true delight for the senses and a perfect pairing for hearty Italian dishes. Enjoy now, or cellar for a few years to enhance its already impressive layers of flavor.

Bark, mocha, ripe cherries and black plums on the nose. Chocolate orange, too. It’s full-bodied and creamy, with sleek tannins and a broad, tasty finish.
