Azienda Agricola Bric Cenciurio Barbera d'Alba DOC 2022, 0,75 L

In truth, it's the humble wines that truly unveil the essence of a grape variety. Especially with Barbera, it's often these "unassuming" wines that grace our tables most frequently. Offering immense drinking pleasure and unparalleled versatility as a culinary companion, the Barbera from Bric Cenciurio epitomises this enchanting quality.

Displaying a characteristic deep red hue, tinged with violet highlights, this Barbera captivates with its vibrant aroma of strawberries and red fruits, accented by delicate floral notes of violet. With no influence of wood, ageing solely in steel tanks and finishing in concrete, the wine exudes pure fruitiness and a precise acidity that eagerly beckons the next sip. The tannins, while substantial, lean towards the elegant side, imparting a refined texture with a pleasing grip and an air of sophistication. With a lingering finish and abundant juiciness, each sip leaves a lasting impression, prompting the desire for another taste.

Such a captivating wine, it's a lamentable reality that Barbera often takes a backseat to Nebbiolo in the spotlight. Yet, wines like this serve as a testament to the remarkable qualities and allure of Barbera, deserving of greater recognition and appreciation.
