Red wines from Piedmont

Expressively scented Piedmont red with juicy black cherry, sweet blueberry, and dark chocolate notes. Inky and concentrated, with a sleek texture, seductive style and superb length.

There's good, muscular concentration and balance with the typical acidity of Barbera keeping this a refreshing, appetizing wine throughout a meal.

Barbera d'Asti is always made from Barbera, which is Italy’s third most planted red grape variety after Sangiovese and Montepulciano.

It was given DOC (appellation) status in 1970, and was upgraded to the top DOCG tier in 2008. Under the rules, at least 85% Barbera must be used; the balance may be made up with Freisa, Grignolino or Dolcetto grapes.

The gently oaked sibling of our ever-popular Blina, this is also a Barbera of intense ruby colour and beautiful fruity aromas, but four months' aging in eighty-hectolitre barrels gives flavours with light notes of spice and a supple texture.

There's every reason to try this zippy and refreshing medium-bodied red, which is perfect for tomato-based dishes, meatier fish, or drinking on its own.

Rich, cherry-ish, earthy aromas introduce a concentrated and powerful red. Vibrant red fruit flavours are gripped tight by secondary notes of cedar and tobacco and those typical firm tannins in a wine that will age well for years to come.

Hand-picked grapes and traditional vinification methods yield a substantial glassful, ideally suited to red meat dishes and hard cheeses.

A pure, bright red, with garnet red colour and delicate aromas of roses and red fruits.

Like a Burgundy in its balance of structured freshness and understated power, this is a rounded and gently spicy red with a lingering finish, well suited to pasta dishes with meat sauces, meat dishes in sauce and full-flavoured cheeses.
