Our second vintage of The Other Wine Co Barbera. Although a new variety for the label, it's a familar friend for our winemaker, Matt Large, who has spent many vintages in Piedmont learning the art of Italian grapes from the likes of Luigi Oddero. Since taking up the post at The Other Wine Co., he's been hunting for local opportunites, and was thrilled to get his hands on this parcel of Barbera. 

Deep, dark, brooding colour with a strong purple tint, the bouquet super-ripe and seems to be teetering towards overripe, but the palate is fresh and bright with energy and life, the late palate revealing some almond-meal nuances, the tannins firm and persuasive but not overdone, and the acidity is balanced and doesn't overstep, as can sometimes happen with this grape.
