Peirano Estate, Barbera, "Estate Grown," Lodi, California



Violet in color, With aromas of boysenberries, cassis, and cherry, with just a tease of velvet. Flavors of red currants, blackberry, plum and embrace on the palate, balanced, lingering, mouth-filling finish.
The savory flavours and high acid levels in many Barberas make them ideal accompaniments to Italian style cuisine.You could serve Barbera wines with most dishes that have a tomato and herb based sauce... or try them with a mushroom risotto.Fatty foods such as roast duck also benefit from being served with acid wines.ome Citrus based sauces.
