Descrizione

Giacomo Fenocchio’s Barbera d’Alba 2023 presents a direct, immediate profile: bright ruby color with violet reflections, aromas of ripe red fruit — cherry and plum — and a slight note of sweet spice and wildflowers. On the palate it shows Barbera’s typical freshness, with lively acidity that supports the fruit without weighing it down; medium body, savory tannins and a saline drinkability that makes it pleasant even when young. The texture is juicy, with a slightly mineral streak and a finish of good persistence that leaves fruity and spicy impressions.

It’s a versatile wine: ideal with cured meats and tomato-based first courses, it also pairs well with grilled white meats and semi-aged cheeses. It works equally well with a well-topped pizza or with ragùs that aren’t too elaborate, offering a balance between juiciness and structure. Serve at around 16–18°C to appreciate the contrast between freshness and body; it doesn’t require long opening time, while ten minutes of breathing can round off any rougher sensations. A daily companion that doesn’t sacrifice character and freshness.
