Get to know: Agricola Gaia di Chiari, Brich Barbera DOC
Tasting Note
This is a bright and juicy Barbera, cultivated on the slopes of Montferrato in Piemonte. The nose is bursting with cherry and blueberry black fruit with a little juniper and forest floor notes. The palate is full-bodied and richly layered with a juicy fruit core and and fresh acidity leading to an earthy hazelnut and dark chocolate finish.
Try this with a mushroom pasta dish.
