Sandrone Barbera d’Alba 2022
Barbera d'Alba
March 11, 2026 - Barbera is a delicate and demanding grape variety. A meticulous search in the area for the very best soils, agronomical decisions and particular attention to vinification enable Sandrone to show the very best qualities of this wine. Barbera d’Alba is made to be a medium-weight wine that will drink well for a decade. It shows delicious and plump berry and black fruits.

It is a perfect match with rich dishes as the bright acidity keeps it from being too heavy.
