Mommiano · Barbera d'Alba DOC 2022

  Barbera from the Roero region often differs significantly from its neighbors in Alba or Asti. Thanks to the sandy, loose soils on the left bank of the Tanaro River, the wines produced here are particularly soft, fruit-forward, and approachable at an early age. The grape's characteristic sharp acidity is usually milder and more harmoniously integrated in the Roero, giving the wines a smooth, almost velvety character. These are charming wines that impress not with sheer power, but with their drinkable elegance and refined fruit aromatics.

Beyond this pleasing style, Roero Barberas score particularly well on affordability. Since the region often still stands somewhat in the shadow of the famous Barolo and Barbaresco zones, wine lovers can find true hidden gems here at moderate prices. You get impeccably crafted wines that are easy on the wallet without compromising on pleasure. This makes them the ideal companions for everyday dining—uncomplicated, honest, and offering a quality that often far exceeds the price tag. - Gerardo [TS10/23]
