Agnelli Viassone, Barbera d’Alba 2023

Agnelli Viassone’s Barbera d'Alba 2023 is a classic Piedmont red that delivers exactly what locals love Barbera for: freshness, generosity, and food-friendly charm. Made with a light touch of wood and concrete aging, it keeps the focus on juicy fruit and a vivid sense of place.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass, this Barbera shows bright, inviting aromas of brambly blackberries, dark cherries, and ripe plum, with subtle spice and a hint of oak in the background. On the palate it is lively and energetic, with soft tannins, mouthwatering acidity, and a supple, juicy core of dark fruit that makes it especially approachable. The wine’s balance of freshness and structure gives it immediate appeal, while the restrained élevage adds just enough grip and dimension to keep it interesting. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now for its vibrancy, though it should also hold nicely over the next few years.

Production
Sourced from Piedmont, where Barbera thrives in a region long associated with everyday drinking wines that shine alongside the local cuisine, this wine reflects both tradition and a clear sense of terroir. The combination of concrete and a discreet use of wood preserves the grape’s natural fruit expression while adding a touch of structure and texture to the finished wine.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile pairing wine, ideal with classic Italian dishes such as pasta with tomato sauce, lasagna, roast chicken, grilled sausages, and mushroom risotto. Serve slightly cool, around 16–18°C, and decanting is not necessary, though a short aeration can help open the aromas if you prefer.

Producer
Agnelli Viassone is a Piedmont producer working with one of the region’s most beloved grapes, Barbera, in a style that emphasizes purity, balance, and drinkability. While the winery’s profile is rooted in the traditions of the area rather than showy winemaking, its approach highlights the strengths that have made Barbera a staple at the table for generations.
