The Story
Monchiero Barbera D'Alba Superiore 2020 is a vibrant and beautifully balanced expression of Barbera from the heart of Piedmont. Deep ruby red with violet reflections, it opens with enticing aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, raspberry, rosewood, savory spices, and forest floor. The palate is rich and fleshy, showcasing juicy red and dark fruit flavors supported by Barbera’s signature bright acidity and refined tannins. A year of aging in large Slavonian oak barrels adds depth and complexity while preserving freshness. The finish is smooth, elegant, and persistent with lingering notes of spice and ripe berries.
Food Pairing: Braised beef, truffle pasta, mushroom risotto, grilled sausages, roasted pork, or aged cheeses.
