Barbera is rapidly gaining popularity in the UK, and this is an excellent example of a good economical Barbera which is light and abundantly fruity. A lovely wine for any occasion.
Founded in Tortona, in the Province of Alessandria in 1914, Cantine Volpi has been able to build, step-by-step, a distintive role in its region as a producer of high quality wines using the local grapes Cortese, Barbera and Dolcetto. (12 x 75 cl)
Gavi in 1999 became a DOCG wine. The wine is the thoroughbred of Tortona and is dry, with a delicate texture and mellow fruits, with a soft, greenish-white colour. (12 x 75 cl)
A very good example of a middle of the road Barolo at a very good price. The wine is subtle, robust and elegant, and is drinking well now, but is still capable of some ageing. (12 x 75 cl)
Classic white wine from Piedmont. It has a pale yellow colour with greenish reflections. Fresh and delicate on the nose with fruity notes, fragrant and dry taste. (6 x 75 cl)
Tasting Nice deep red. Fragrant scents of ripe little red berries. A rich and warm wine, requiring demanding food pairings. Vineyard/Territory Only estate-grown Barbera from the old vineyards of Cocconato and Agliano. Wine Production Proper maceration on the skins is followed by storage in new and used barriques and, finally, bottle aging It is precisely on the steepest slopes (6 x 75 cl)
