2024 Vallana Piemonte Barbera

Red fruit. Spice. Soft tannin. Take your customers to terroir school by opening a bottle of Vallana Barbera alongside pretty much any of the other Barberas we import. There's a striking difference! This is from the Alto Piemonte, made mostly of colline Novaresi fruit, hand harvested in small baskets, and fermented in concrete tanks by arch-traditionalists Francis and Marina Fogarty. Mountain wine, worlds apart from the undulating hills of Asti and Alba.
