Casa Baricalino's Barbera d'Alba DOC comes from vines grown alongside the estate's Nebbiolo and Dolcetto in Novello. True to the variety, it shows deep ruby color, vivid aromas of dark cherry and blackberry, and Barbera's hallmark high acidity balanced against soft tannins, giving a fresh, food-friendly red that is typically released for relatively early drinking.
This is Barbera doing exactly what Barbera does best: high-acid, food-loving, no-fuss drinking.
New to wine?
An approachable, fruit-forward red that showcases Piedmont's everyday-drinking side.
Food Pairings

When to drink it
Casual weeknight dinners, pizza and pasta nights, and gatherings with friends.
Terroir & Winemaking
100% Barbera from Novello vineyards. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve primary fruit aromas and the variety's naturally high acidity, with tannins softened for relatively early drinkability.
