The aroma is vibrant with intense notes of raspberry and cherry. Velvety on the palate with flavours of cherries, prune, but also liquorice and spices. This has a comforting warmth and finishes dry with decent length. It's made with no added sulphites and no oak, which keeps Barbera's character completely unmasked. Expect it to lean into the variety's characteristic mouth-watering acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow-braised beef casserole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA hard, aged cheese like Parmesan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrilled portobello mushrooms with rosemary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"We really like that this one's made with no added sulphites - it's Barbera stripped right back, no oak to hide behind.
