Agostino Pavia, DOCG Barbera d'Asti Superiore 'La Marescialla' 2017
Regular price €30.00A powerful favourite—its fleshy, oak-aged character seems to demand a rich, meaty meal—with a loyal following.
Powerful and fleshy super-premium Barbera with a dense, unctuous texture, intense rasperry jam, clove, and caramel flavours, and a lingering finish that seems to go on forever.
This is a 'big' wine that calls for hearty, savoury food—roast beef or lamb— to show at its best, and it will certainly repay decanting for two or three hours before drinking.
It was great good news to hear from Mauro Pavia that the 2016 vintage of this wine had earned 97/100 and thus a Platinum Medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2019:
‘This is a cracking Barbera, modern in style with elegant black fruit and chocolate aromatics. Very rich, opulent and concentrated palate; powerful but not overwhelming, with enough acidity to balance the fruit and well-integrated oak. Spicy, lingering finish. Delicious stuff!’

Agostino Pavia, DOC Monferrato Rosso 'Talin' 2016
Regular price €25.00The Pavias consider their pure Barberas the flagships of the fleet, but there's room in the range for this complementary Monferrato, which blends a little Syrah into the recipe.
The rules of the Monferrato appellation are quite lenient, and several red grapes are permitted, with the greatest scope given to wines aiming for the Rosso designation.
The Pavias' Monferrato, 'Talin', is slightly unusual in adding Syrah rather than, say, Cabernet Sauvignon or Cabernet Franc, but their choice pays off in the concentration and hint of spice that the 'international' grape brings to the mix.
'Talin' is an aromatic, fruity wine with freshness and warm depth in lingering harmony. It's a little broader in its fruit intensity than the pure Barberas, and a year's ageing in French oak casks promotes those secondary flavours and enhances the smooth structure of the wine.

Agostino Pavia, DOC Grignolino d'Asti 2020
Regular price €18.00A crisp red? Well, yes—Grignolino d'Asti fits that description pretty well.
This is a local speciality of Piedmont that has been left in the shade in recent times by an international appetite for the region's bigger, darker wines, such as Barolo and Barbaresco.
For those who enjoy an authentic taste of something different, though, the Grignolino grape variety offers pale colour, bright blackcurrant and strawberry aromas, and a combination of high acidity and grippy tannins alongside generous juicy fruit.
Grignolino means 'pippy', and refers to the relatively high number of seeds in each grape. For the winemaker, the challenge is to express the variety's potential for delicate aromatics without including too much of the tannin stored in those pips.
Spicy and just about medium-bodied, the Pavias' Grignolino has appealing aromas of strawberries and redcurrants, with peppery herb notes. There's plenty of ripe fruit freshness in the mouth, and cleansing grip that makes this a really good lunchtime or light meal partner for creamy sauces, pasta with squash or pumpkin, and rabbit or duck dishes.
Time will gradually subdue its arresting energy, but you should certainly try a bottle of this vigorous, appetizing wine in its high-voltage youth before making any cellaring decisions.
