Sergio Molino Melia Barbera d’Alba Superiore DOC (2018) - Piemonte

THE GRAPE 
Barbera.


THE WINE 
An excellent Barbera that manages to be serious and yet immensely pleasurable. Tannic for this variety but not oppressively so. Saturated dark fruit flavours with a twist of citrus add considerable interest. Surely even better down the road but just splendid as it is now. An endless generator of interesting new nuances and complexity.

THE PAIRING
rich dark meats, mushrooms, herbs, herbaceous cheeses like blue cheese, higher tannin foods like root vegetables & braised greens. The idea here is that the bright acidity in the wine will make a rich fatty or high tannin dish complete.
