A wine of its own ancestry and heritage, Barbera has continued to move from an every day drinking wine into a more cult status and we are excited by what we see off our Wrattonbully vineyard. A bright wine that opens with cherry blossom and dried herb notes enticing you down the garden path into a palate of dark cherry and forest floor earth, where you can taste the sun dried herb notes and hints of pepper. This wine is lively and refreshing, drinking exceptionally well now.

The Porta Rossa Barbera D'Asti DOC 2021 is a stunning representation of the Barbera grape from the Piedmont region of Italy. Deep ruby in color, this wine presents a bouquet of ripe dark berries, plums, and a hint of spice on the nose. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a smooth and velvety texture, showcasing vibrant flavors of black cherry, raspberry, and a touch of black pepper. The tannins are well-integrated and the acidity provides a refreshing balance to the fruit-forward profile. The finish is lingering, with a touch of tobacco and a subtle minerality that adds complexity. This vintage, produced by the esteemed Piccini winery, is a true delight for the senses and a perfect pairing for hearty Italian dishes. Enjoy now, or cellar for a few years to enhance its already impressive layers of flavor.

Vibrant in colour the nose shows plum and berry fruit with spice pepper and well integrated oak. The palate has good fruit weight with attractive berry flavours and a fine tannin finish.

Barbera can be a bit of a chameleon, so let's set the record straight immediately; this wine falls into the pure-fruited, punchy, lighter bodied, good-times category. Pure, black cherry, raspberry, nettle and anise aromas and flavours - perfumed and engaging - it has both sweet and savoury notes and more than enough structure to keep the palate fresh. It also showcases the finesse that is so typical of Massolino's wines. Matured in stainless steel and concrete tanks, this wine hails from a 2.2-hectare limestone-rich vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba where the vines are between 10 and 35 years of age.
