Wine Details
Price:
$26.00 per bottle
Description:
An intensely fruity, dark and spicy wine, Barbera has been for Preston Vineyards a serendipitous discovery and adventure in flavor. The concentrated aromas of ripe raspberry and cherries are highlighted by notes of dark chocolate and subtle oak, providing a wine satisfying in its richness, surprising in its earthiness, and exciting in its food affinities.
THE VINES Barbera, which first found its noble lineage in the full-flavored wines of Italy's Piedmont region, now has happily adapted to our lighter alluvial soils along Dry Creek. Historically, Barbera had not been widely planted here, but we believe it to be an apt expression of Dry Creek's Italian farming heritage--it's serious, exciting, sophisticated and sensuous all at once. It belongs here.
THOUGHTS FOR FOOD With aromas of leather and earth, Barbera really shines with a meal of wild mushrooms. Saute with garlic and herbs, reduce the juices with a bit of the same wine, serve with a rough and crusty loaf.
