Accornero 2021 Giulin Barbera Del Monferrato DOC

The Wine

Many wine fans are familiar with Barbera d'Asti and Barbera d'Alba, but if you're familiar with their more obscure sibling, a region known as Monferrato, count yourself among the top tier of Italian wine lovers! But what it lacks in familiarity it makes up for in girth, so to speak, as it boasts over 10,000 acres of vines!

This wine is notably more earthy than Barberas from other regions and has a deeper color and a bouquet dominated by ripe plums and baked cherries with a twist of black peppercorns. The Barbera grape is appreciated for its ability to retain freshness (acidity) even during hot summers - making it a potential 'grape of the future' for a warming climate.
