Barbera d’Alba DOC 2023 - Piero Benevelli 2023

Displays a bright ruby color and aromas of ripe red fruits—cherry and plum—followed by light floral notes and sweet spices. On the palate it confirms a fresh, straightforward character: lively acidity provides lift, the tannins remain soft and well integrated, while the medium body supports the sip without weighing it down. The wine is smooth, savory and balanced, with a pleasant persistence that recalls the fruit and leaves a slight bitter note on the finish.

Young and sincere, the Barbera d'Alba 2023 from Piero Benevelli pairs with a wide range of dishes: pasta with ragù, grilled meats that aren't overly structured, cured meats and semi-hard cheeses. Thanks to its acidity it is an excellent companion for flavorful dishes, while its freshness makes it enjoyable even on informal occasions. Serve slightly chilled to enhance drinkability; it can be enjoyed immediately but retains good integrity after a few years in bottle, ideal for those seeking an everyday red with authentic character.
