Guidobono Barbera d'Alba 2011

Add Your Review

Deep purple in colour with bold black and red fruit on the nose. Barbera's trademark cherry fruit is made round with time in large oak casks and smaller used barrels. The lively acidity makes the wine dance across your tongue. The palate is rich without being over-extracted and balanced by typical crunchy acidity. Velvety textured and loaded with blackberry and black cherry fruit. Lush and very drinkable.Try it with an Italian sausage, mild or spicy, with pasta or a pizza.

Cascina Chicco has been famous for generations in Roero for their Arneis, Barbera and Nebbiolo. The recent acquisition of the Guidobono estate marries their experience and passion with an ability to offer amazing value for money.

This project seems to be the answer to the great Piemonte quandary: modern or traditional? With a foot in both camps, Guidobono provides an easy drinking ripeness to please the modern school while maintaining depth and edge to satisfy any Northern Italian purist.
