RATINGS

WineBid Tasting Team

The little Barbera that could! Upfront notes of black cherries, blackberries and violets followed by dry tobacco leaves, underbrush...Medium plus on the palate...juicy berry medley, great complexities; vivacious with a slightly brawny edge…

Winemaker

Intensely red color, tending toward violet; intense nose typical of Barbera; soft and lush.

PRODUCER

Valdinera

Valdinera is near Roero, just an appellation north of Barolo and Langhe. The 50-acre estate is spread over rolling, rocky hills that enjoy long hours of sunshine. The estate has been in the Careglio family for four generations, but in 1988 Giuseppe Careglio started bottling and selling the estate’s wine under the Valdinera label. Today Valdinera is run by Giuseppe and his daughter Pamela and it is increasingly known among wine lovers for its limited production DOCG and DOC wines made of Nebbiolo, Barbera, Arneis and Favorita.

REGION

Italy, Piedmont, Roero

Barbera d’Alba is a DOC centered around the town of Alba, and it is considered home to some of the best wines made from the Barbera grape. Barbera is the most frequently planted grape in Piedmont, thanks to its adaptability and vigorous character. It is easier to grow and less susceptible to adverse weather than Nebbiolo, which is grown in neighboring appellations. Barbera in general has relatively low tannins but high acidity, and the wines tend to have flavors of ripe currant and cherry. The Barbera DOC was created in 1970 and the DOC wines must be 100% Barbera.

TYPE

Red Wine, Proprietary Red, D.O.C.G.

This red wine is from Piedmont. It is known for low tannins and high acidity, which makes it taste both light-bodied and rich. Barbera most often drinks early, but some variations can be cellared. The wine is relatively inexpensive and flexible for pairing.
