Italian Red
Diego Conterno Barbera d'Alba 'Ferrione', Piedmont, Italy 2021
- 100% Barbera
- Certified Organic
The 'wine of the people' as it's commonly referred, Barbera is often thought of as the second wine of Piedmont, hiding in the shadow of its more internationally famous sibling, Nebbiolo. Despite its secondary status Barbera produces some wonderful wines and this showing by Diego Conterno is an absolute gem. Single vineyard, estate fruit is fermented in steel and aged in a combination of large oak and cement. This is wonderfully perfumed, floral and inviting with a palate that is lush, rounded and fruit driven.
