Versatile and delicious Barbera from northern Italy.
- A complex wine with intense notes of strawberry and cherry followed by hints of fresh violets, herbaceous notes and a slight earthiness.
- Medium bodied, smooth and warm followed by fresh acidity with low tannins, high minerality and a persistent finish.
- This Barbera has spent six months in oak barrels for flavour complexity, plus six months resting in the bottle to develop harmony.
- The vineyards for this wine are based in the municipality of Nizza Monferrato.
- It goes perfectly with red meats or meals with tomato sauces.

Barbera has become a personal favourite of mine over the last year, and can be made in a broad range of styles. If you're new to it, start with the Desideria from Guasti. Lots of ripe cherry fruit, with some floral notes and a herbal finish, this is a great wine for pasta, or on its own with friends. - Nick Gorton, OWC
This new addition to our range combines fruit, structure and a satisfying finish. This is a wine you can serve for those impromptu drinks soirees and stands up well to a full on seasonal roast. Great value. - John Chapman, OWC
