2022 FAMIGLIA BRUNO BARBERA D'ALBA PIEDMONT ITALY

The 2022 Famiglia Bruno Barbera d'Alba is a red wine from Piedmont, Italy, celebrated for its vibrant flavors and versatility. Here's an overview:

Key Features:

• Region: Barbera d'Alba DOC, Piedmont, Italy, known for producing exceptional Barbera wines with depth and complexity.
• Grape Varietal: 100% Barbera, a grape prized for its bright acidity and fruit-forward profile.
• Tasting Notes:
  • Aroma: Bursting with red cherries, raspberries, and plums, with subtle hints of violets and spices.
  • Palate: Medium-bodied with juicy red fruit flavors, lively acidity, and soft, well-integrated tannins. Notes of vanilla and a touch of earthiness add depth.
  • Finish: Long and refreshing, with a balance of fruit and acidity that makes it incredibly food-friendly.

Pairing Suggestions:

• Classic Pairings:
  • Pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces, such as spaghetti Bolognese or lasagna.

Why It Stands Out:

The Famiglia Bruno Barbera d'Alba captures the essence of Piedmont’s winemaking heritage with its approachable yet nuanced style. Its vibrant acidity and fruit-forward character make it versatile for a variety of dishes and occasions.
