When I’m invited to dinner and I don’t know what’s on the menu or what style of wine the host likes, I brings a bottle of Barbera.
The most versatile, easily pairable, yet drinkable wine on its own. Barbera's wines native home is in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy.
When crafted by experienced winemakers, Barbera somehow tastes both rich and light-bodied, with flavors of dark cherry, strawberries, plums, blackberries, vanilla and anise.

With low tannins, high acidity and juicy flavors, Barbera is a food-friendly palate-pleaser, particularly when paired with turkey, grilled chicken, pizza or spaghetti with meatballs. Or for something simple, try it with rich blue cheese or Reggiano Parmigiano. Delicious!
We carry excellent Barberas at LaVinotheque of Farmington, like this 2009 Montebruna Barbera d' Asti . Bon appetit.
