2024 Barbera d’Asti DOCG Sanbastiàn

The Sanbastiàn Barbera d’Asti opens with a radiant, fruity bouquet of cherry, blackberry, and strawberry, lifted by floral and subtle spice notes. From the organically farmed 25- to 40-year-old vines on the slopes of Agliano Terme, the wine shows natural depth and poise. On the palate, soft tannins, lively acidity, and a harmonious structure carry the fruit to an elegant finish. A true crowd-pleaser, it effortlessly showcases Barbera’s freshness, charm, and approachability, making it as versatile at the table as it is expressive in the glass.
