Description
The Barbera Piemonte DOC 2023 from Luigi Einaudi is a characterful red wine from Piedmont, originating from the San Luigi and San Giacomo vineyards near Dogliani. This Barbera combines the characteristic fresh acidity of the grape variety with a full, soft structure and refined oak aging. The result is an elegant, gastronomic wine that pairs excellently with the rich cuisine of Northern Italy.
Red currant, cherry, licorice, and cedar wood
In the glass, this Barbera displays a deep ruby-red color with dark nuances. The aroma is enticing and complex with notes of red currant, ripe cherries, licorice, and subtle hints of cedar wood. The taste is full and concentrated, with ripe red and dark fruit, earthy nuances, velvety tannins, and a long, balanced finish. The fresh acidity provides a wonderful balance and makes the wine particularly versatile at the table.
Twelve months of wood aging
The Barbera grapes grow on south and southeast-facing slopes at an altitude of approximately 380 meters. The calcareous soils of limestone, clay, and marl give the wine its characteristic minerality. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine matures for twelve months in both large wooden foudres and small oak barrels. This is followed by several months of bottle aging, which creates additional complexity and softness.
Perfect with grilled meat, pasta, and aged cheeses
This Barbera is an excellent accompaniment to grilled beef tenderloin, pasta with rich meat sauces, mushroom dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Thanks to its fresh acidity and full structure, it is suitable for both weeknight dinners and elaborate meals.
Luigi Einaudi
Poderi Luigi Einaudi was founded by Luigi Einaudi, the first president of Italy after the Second World War. Today, the winery is managed by Matteo Sardagna, who combines tradition with modern techniques and sustainable vineyard management. The focus is on producing wines that authentically reflect the unique terroir of Dogliani and Barolo.
