2007 Barbera d'Alba

Producer

Guidobono

History | Winemaking

Cascina Chicco has been famous for generations in Roero for their Arneis, Barbera and Nebbiolo. The recent acquisition of the Guidobono estate marries their experience and passion with an ability to offer amazing value for money.

This project seems to be the answer to the great Piemonte quandary: modern or traditional? With a foot in both camps, Guidobono provides an easy drinking ripeness to please the modern school while maintaining depth and edge to satisfy any Northern Italian purist.

The Barbera d’Alba is deep purple in colour with bold black and red fruit on the nose. The palate is rich without being over-extracted and balanced by typical crunchy acidity. Lush and very drinkable.
