When it was harvest time, around 5 in the afternoon, Luigi’s grandfather would stop working and take a break for the traditional merenda sinoira — bread, salami, cheese, and a glass of wine.
That’s where today’s aperitivo comes from. That’s why, whenever he heads out for a drink with friends, he brings a buta, a bottle of Barbera d’Asti DOCG.
Sight
Ruby red with purple hues.
Nose
Can you smell the red berries, spices, and floral notes?
Taste
A wine of great richness, warm and pleasantly smooth, with a touch of tannin and the typical acidity of the Barbera grape.
Pairing tips
Thanks to its versatility, it pairs wonderfully with traditional Piedmontese dishes — and beyond.
Try it with salami, tomini, frittata, or anchovies during a classic merenda sinoira. It’s a great match for first courses too, like agnolotti del plin, pasta with meat sauce, risotto with sausage and Barbera, or gnocchi with melted cheese and poppy seeds.
Even better with second courses: Fassona tartare, mixed boiled meats with bagna cauda, braised dishes, white meats, or barbecue chicken glazed with soy sauce and Barbera. A trusted, flavorful companion for any dish!
It’s your guy if…
…You’re looking for a wine that keeps you company at the table without getting in the way, yet still brings plenty of personality.
