RedThis Barbera d'Asti showcases why the variety is beloved by Piedmontese locals – it's the ultimate weeknight red wine that delivers serious flavor without being too demanding. While tourists chase after Barolo and Barbaresco, Italians quietly enjoy Barbera with their everyday meals. Cascina Valle Asinari is a small, family-run estate focused on traditional winemaking and sustainable vineyard practices. Their Barbera comes from the classic growing area of Asti, where the variety thrives in the region's clay-rich soils. The wine's naturally high acidity makes it exceptionally food-friendly – it can cut through rich dishes while complementing tomato-based sauces beautifully. This bottle offers an authentic taste of everyday Piedmont at a price that allows for regular enjoyment.
