After the first sip I was transported to the Trattoria al Tartufo in Alba, Italy. What, this isn’t Italian Barbera??? It is stunning Washington State Barbera! Complex? Yes! Opulent? Absolutely! It is a concentrated mouthful of crushed berries, rose petals, plums and cherries. A fruit bomb, you ask? No way! The seductive and ample fruit is held in place by velvety tannins and bright bright acid. The finish is a voluptuously spicy, fruity, vanilla kiss that beckons, cajoles, even commands one to continue filling the glass.

Food Pairing Suggestions: Wild Mushroom Ravioli drizzled in either a rich tomato sauce or a sage butter. Or Sunday Pot Roast with all the fixings…potatoes, carrots, onion…you get the picture!
