Barbera d'Alba DOC | La Morra Estate | Organic Red

Tasting Notes

Intense violet colour. Mature fruit, cacao, prune, spicy, fragrant nose. Full and fresh mouth. Very soft tannins.

Bright, soft and supremely drinkable, Piedmont's friendliest red.

Why you'll love it: Barbera gives all the dark fruit and freshness of a serious Italian red, with soft tannins that make it ready to enjoy tonight with a plate of pasta.

About Cordero di Montezemolo

Cordero di Montezemolo is one of Barolo's oldest family estates, run by the same family in La Morra since 1340 and now in its nineteenth generation. Its hilltop is marked by a towering Lebanese cedar, planted in 1856, so well known locally that the Italian Air Force once used it to navigate. The estate is farmed entirely to certified-organic standards, and unusually for Barolo its vineyards sit in large, contiguous blocks, which lets the family work each cru with real consistency.

Perfect with tomato-based pasta, pizza, or a charcuterie board. Its bright acidity cuts through rich, savoury food beautifully.
