Barbabianca

Marcobarba

A wine that delivers well over its weight class, the Barbabianca is a textural, flavour-packed treat! A litany of stone fruit flavours ranging from peach fuzz to ripe apricot, nuanced by chamomile, bergamot, honeysuckle, and hints of almond on the nose, with a lingering, delicious pear profile. Well balanced acidity and low alcohol make this wine a true patio pleaser.
