Cascina Castlet Barbera d'Asti 2019

The ‘Vespa’ Barbera d'Asti has wonderful ripe red fruits, licorice and floral aromas leaping from the glass followed by a supple, silky, ripe mouthful of red fruits that will remind you of a first class Pinot Noir with Italiano style. Made by a small, traditional estate in Piedmont, Mariuccia Borio is a Barbera specialist who hand picks all the fruit and makes elegant classic wines (that’s her as a girl in the pink dress in the 1950’s---love it!). Serve with pork, chicken, pasta with tomato-based sauces, salmon, tuna or fine cheeses.
