A Benchmark Red from the Langhe: CERETTO BARBERA D'ALBA PIANA

Hailing from the prestigious Langhe region, the Ceretto Barbera d'Alba Piana Red offers a sophisticated yet approachable take on the Barbera grape. The Ceretto family, pioneers of organic viticulture in Piedmont, delivers a wine that is both a nod to tradition and an emblem of modern quality. This is an essential Italian red, balancing rich, dark fruit with the grape's defining, refreshing acidity.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A striking, deep ruby hue.
• Aroma: Complex scents of dark berries, black cherry compote, violet, and a subtle, earthy minerality.
• Taste: The palate is generous and lively. The high acidity provides a fantastic lift, making it exceptionally food-friendly, while the tannins remain soft and silky. Expect flavors of plum and spice, leading to a long, savoury finish.

Food Pairing & Serving

The high acidity makes this an ideal match for rich, creamy dishes. Decant for 30 minutes and serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F) to release its full aromatic potential.
