Manera Barbera 2014
Piemonte DOC
Loading...
In Piedmont at the foot of the Italian Alps fine wines and local foods (truffles and game especially) go hand in hand. The best reds are based on either Nebbiolo or, in the case of this wine from Claudio Manera, the mocha and plum rich Barbera grape.

The Wine
Manera reveals the Barbera grape’s sour cherry tang in all its glory. The wine comes from Castel Boglione, the only town in the area built on the valley floor. Once surrounded by thick woodland, and often covered in thick fog, the town had a reputation as a place full of bandits and thieves. Today its reputation is based solely on quality wines. Talented oenologist Claudio Manera heads up the winemaking team at Araldica and selects grapes from vineyards across the Montferrato hills. The cellar specialises in Moscato and Barbera wines, for which they’ve won many awards. The 2014 has silky tannins, plum and liquorice scented fruit and raspberry freshness. Sensational with local dishes like pasta in duck ragù.
"This was a real surprise – smooth and fruity. Unbelievable at this price"
