Brangero's top Barbera bottling, aged to Superiore DOC standards (minimum 12 months ageing, including at least 4 months in barrel). Intense ruby red with violet reflections, it shows a nose dominated by red fruit and a hint of spice, leading to a full-bodied, round palate supported by the variety's characteristic pronounced acidity.
This is Barbera taken seriously — barrel ageing adds the structure to stand up to red meat without losing the variety's signature acid backbone.
New to wine?
A fuller, more structured take on Barbera — a good next step for those who enjoyed the base bottling.
Food Pairings

When to drink it
Sunday roasts, dinners with grilled or braised red meat
