Ricossa Barbera d'Asti DOCG

by Ricossa · Barbera d'Asti DOCG, Piedmont, Italy

Red • Barbera • 13.5% ABV

Ricossa's Barbera d'Asti DOCG comes from Piedmont's renowned Asti region, where Barbera has been the everyday drinking wine of choice for generations of locals – which should tell you something, as these are people who know a thing or two about good living. This wine showcases Barbera's signature high acidity and moderate tannins, making it one of the most food-friendly red wines on the planet.

While its prestigious neighbor Barolo gets all the glory (and the astronomical prices), Barbera quietly delivers incredible value and versatility without demanding decades in your cellar. The DOCG classification guarantees adherence to strict quality standards, so you're getting the real deal – not some corner-cutting imitation.

It's the perfect bottle for those Wednesday night pasta dinners when you want something that punches well above its weight class without the guilt of opening a special occasion bottle. Consider it your secret weapon for impressing dinner guests who think they know Italian wine.
