About this wine
Cascina La Briacca's Barbera d'Alba DOC is made from 100% Barbera grown on the family's vineyards in Castiglione Falletto, showcasing vibrant ruby color and fresh aromas of raspberry, plum, and rose. Moderate acidity and soft tannins give it a medium-bodied, harmonious profile typical of the Langhe hills.
A friendly entry point into Piedmontese reds — fruit-forward and easy-drinking, without the firm tannins of Nebbiolo-based wines.

Food Pairings

When to drink it
Casual family dinners, garden picnics, or an everyday reliable red.
