Barbera d'Alba Patrizi - A vibrant, ruby-red wine with intense aromas of perfumed fruit, such as morello cherries, on the nose. Some nice developing spice and tobacco notes on the palate. A dry, medium bodied wine with elegant acidity on the finish. A real touch of class from Piemonte, North West Italy.
The Manfredi family have been wine producers since 1863. The current family are keeping up with the times by converting their 20 hectare estate into an organic vineyard, the windy hill of Bricco Rosso being an ideal site.
This Barbera wine spends around 6/8 months in steel tanks before bottling. This allows the wine to settle, yet retain vibrant fruit character.
Will work a treat with tomato based vegetarian dishes, thin crust pizza topped with pepperoni or salami and heartier vegetables such as courgette and artichoke.
One of our biggest selling wines. Really great value.
