Barbera A Taula Piemonte DOC 2023 - Barbera Sei Castelli

Piemonte DOC Barbera A Taula 

The Piemonte DOC Barbera A Taula by Cantina Sei Castelli is a tribute to the winemaking tradition of Piedmont, a celebration of Barbera cultivated on rolling hills with calcareous-clay soils. This wine tells the story of its land through its vibrant freshness and harmonious balance between structure and softness, making it an ideal companion for the table. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve the fruit’s aromatic integrity. The wine then undergoes further aging in steel to enhance its freshness and the pure expression of the Barbera grape, resulting in a fragrant and immediately enjoyable wine. In the glass, it displays a brilliant ruby red color, with violet reflections. The bouquet is intense and fruity, featuring juicy cherry, blackberry, and plum, intertwined with delicate floral notes of violet and subtle spicy hints. On the palate, it stands out for its lively freshness, supported by a pleasant acidity that enhances its drinkability. The tannic structure is soft and well-integrated, while the finish is long and juicy, with an elegant fruity persistence. A perfect wine for convivial dinners and moments of sharing, it pairs beautifully with cured meats, semi-aged cheeses, pasta with ragù, and grilled meats. Its versatility makes it an excellent match for traditional Piedmontese cuisine and for those seeking a characterful yet easy-drinking red wine.
