2023 Fontanabianca Barbera d'Alba Superiore

Fontanabianca’s Barbera d’Alba Superiore comes from the tiny Piemontese village of Neive, in the heart of the Langhe, where clay-limestone soils give Barbera both richness and freshness. This is a generous, polished expression of the grape, shaped by ripe fruit, natural acidity and a measured use of oak that adds depth without overwhelming the wine.

Made from 100% Barbera, the wine is vinified traditionally and aged for 1 year in large and small oak barrels. The result is a Barbera with more regal structure and refinement than a simple everyday red, while still keeping the variety’s bright, food-friendly character.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby red colour with violet reflections. The nose is full and expressive, with plum, cherry, dark berries, gentle spice and a light mineral note. On the palate, it is rich, softly textured with juicy acidity, soft tannins and a long vibrant finish.

A confident Barbera d’Alba Superiore from Neive, that delivers flavour and class well above its modest price.

Perfect with roasted meats, pasta with ragù, grilled sausages and other BBQ recipes, mushrooms and medium-aged cheeses.
