Barbera d'Alba Superiore, "Bricco Airoli" DOC, Piedmont, Italy, 2020, Magnum Gift Box

Tom has been shipping from Claudio at Viberti for nearly 20 years. They're great old friends in the wine trade and we were lucky enough to visit this estate in September 2023.  It's amazing to be able to ship direct from a grower where we can see and imagine exactly where the grapes have come from. These wines are special, with quality and a sense of place at the forefront.

The grapes for this wine come from two carefully selected sites. You might refer to this wine as a 'baby Barolo. It's vinified in exactly the same way as Viberti's Barolo and the proof is in the pudding. The nose has a classic Italian Cherry note, with a light herbal note. It's incredibly elegant and has real finesse. The finish is long and evolving and this wine is putting Barbera on the map.
