Barbera D'Asti

Barbera D'Asti

Denominazione di Origine
Controlla e Garantita 2011

A Barbera D'Asti from Sainsbury's. It was good, a very pleasant and gentle wine but it fell far short of the one I recently had from Lidl; that bottle was a Superiore (and £8.99) and yes so much superior


From the label;

This fruity red has a lovely soft texture and balances ripe blackberry and morello cherry flavours with silky tannins and a spice of acidity.
Barbera d'Asti comes from the Piedmont region of northwest Italy and dynamic winemaker Scipione Giuliani has carefully produced this wine to reflect the region's terroir and diversity.
Perfect with roast duck or spicy Italian-style sausages.
