The Piedmontese Workhorse: CERETTO BARBERA D’ALBA PIANA RED

The Ceretto Barbera d’Alba Piana Red is a prime example of why Barbera is the everyday champion of Piedmont. Produced by the renowned Ceretto family, this wine is crafted to showcase the grape’s natural vitality and pure fruit expression, following their certified organic farming practices. It’s a medium-bodied, high-acid red that’s built for the dinner table, offering incredible versatility and depth for its price point.

Tasting Profile

• Color: Deep, brilliant ruby red.
• Nose: Intense and inviting, featuring concentrated aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, raspberry, and a hint of licorice and spice.
• Palate: Very juicy and fresh, with the grape’s signature vibrant acidity cutting through the rich fruit. Tannins are soft and approachable, resulting in a smooth, satisfying mouthfeel and a clean, earthy finish.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

This wine is a powerhouse with savory American comfort food. Serve slightly chilled (60-64°F) to enhance its freshness. It’s ready to drink now but has the structure to age for a few years.
