Piemonte, Italy — Barbera

This Appassimento-style Barbera from San Silvestro is rich, velvety and packed with flavour. Partially dried grapes bring extra depth and ripeness, giving notes of black cherry, plum and a touch of chocolate, balanced by Barbera’s natural freshness and a smooth, warming finish.

Perfect with lasagne, roast duck or a big wedge of aged Parmesan. It’s bold yet beautifully balanced — a plush northern Italian red that feels like a hug in a glass.
