Marchesi di Barolo Barbera d'Alba Superiore Peiragal 2023

Marchesi di Barolo’s Barbera d’Alba Superiore Peiragal 2023 is a distinctive expression of Barbera from one of Piedmont’s most respected names. Sourced from the stony, clay-and-limestone slopes of the Peiragal vineyards, it offers a beautifully structured style that balances ripe fruit, elegance, and a very polished mouthfeel.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby-red color with good intensity and brightness. The nose is generous and layered, combining ripe red and black cherry, plum, and subtle floral notes with hints of spice and earthy complexity. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with Barbera’s characteristic freshness kept in check by balanced alcohol and a more structured, refined texture. The tannins are graceful and never aggressive, while the finish is long and harmonious. This is a wine that can be enjoyed now for its vitality, but it should also develop nicely over the next few years.

Production
Peiragal refers to hillside vineyards with a pronounced slope and soils made up of large formations of clay and limestone, packed with stones. These poor, compact soils limit water retention, forcing the vines to root deeply in search of moisture from lower layers, which leads to naturally low yields and concentrated fruit. The result is a more structured Barbera with moderate acidity, balanced alcohol, and elegant tannins.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs especially well with rich pasta dishes, roasted poultry, grilled meats, sausages, and aged cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting it for 30–45 minutes if you’d like to soften the structure and open up the aromatics.

Producer
Marchesi di Barolo is one of the historic reference producers in Piedmont, closely associated with the heritage and evolution of Barolo and other classic Langhe wines. The estate has long been recognized for helping define the region’s reputation for quality and tradition, and it continues to stand out for wines that combine authenticity, finesse, and strong regional identity.
