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.

BARBERA D'ASTI SUPERIORE 2010
BARBERA D'ASTI SUPERIORE 2010
Cascino Polsino at Alice Bel Colle in Piedmont, Italy.
My Beloved and I really enjoyed this wine. Heart-warmingly gentle and smooth on a wild and stormy night, with the windows rattling as a winter gale passed quickly by.
It accompanied our wonderful smoked salmon pasta dish, which was rich and powerful. This wine was both an excellent accompaniment to the meal and also a relaxing and leisurely wine afterwards. Thoroughly enjoyable!
Label description:
"Cascina Polsino is an estate extending over about 13 hectares at Alice Bel Colle, a village in an area of rare beauty in Piedmont. Here the conditions are ideal for the vines which have been cultivated for centuries with love and hard work and give us marvellous products in exchange. Among these is Barbera d'Asti Superiore, a wonderful deep red wine, with appealing perfumes and a balanced, elegant flavour. It is the perfect accompaniment to red meat, game and mature cheeses. Decant one hour before serving.
