カンティーネ・ヴァルパーネ バルベーラ・デル・モンフェッラート・ロッソ・ピエトロ 2020年、ピエモンテ、イタリア

The black cherry and currant notes hit right away, exactly as described, and it paired beautifully with my pasta. Smooth finish that kept me coming back for another glass.

Cracked this open last night with a simple pasta dinner and the black cherry and black currant notes really came through on the nose, just like the description says. It's smooth enough to sip on its own but has enough structure to stand up to food, which is exactly what I wanted from a Barbera.

This Barbera really delivers on those cherry and currant notes the description promises—it’s vibrant and smooth without being too heavy. Opened great with a simple pasta dinner, and the finish had that classic Piedmont elegance. For the price, it’s a solid everyday red that punches above its weight.
