Cagliero Barbera c DOC Superiore 2019
91 Points - Gilbert & Gaillard. Designated as Superiore DOC, this Barbera d'Alba has been aged in French oak barrels for 12 months to attain a greater depth and balance. A lovely, versatile wine with that will continue to age gracefully, if you can resist drinking it now! Deep reddish purple colour, rich in vibrant tones. Its bouquet is redolent of fruits and flowers: peaches, apricots, apples and wild flowers. Its flavour is medium-bodied and well structured, with acid levels that help it age well ! A great food wine, try with fried foods, casseroles, ripe cheeses and the traditional bagna càuda, a rich anchovy and garlic fondue.

Wine Press Ratings
91 Points - Gilbert & Gaillard (2019)
"Beautiful young-looking garnet. Open nose accented by jammy and forest floor aromas. Great harmony, weight and precise, intense aromas on the palate. The finish is fruity, spicy and very pleasant."
92 Points - Decanter (2015)
"Blunt, inky and savoury nose, with some aromatic force. Rich, dense and juicy, very concentrated and oaky, but has an imposing weight. Perhaps a touch too oaky overall, but it has energy and persistence."
