CARLO REVELLO , Barbera d'Alba DOC

This is our first release of Barbera from TarraWarra Estate. We chose this variety for its inherent structure and intense flavour. It is ideally suited to the Yarra Valley, and we are very excited by this first release. The variety is thriving in its location, yielding a wine that is full flavoured, rich and long.

What the Hunter Valley and David Hook does so very well - meduim bodied reds that have good savoury length and nice integrated tannins.

Lifted and aromatic. Sour cherry and spice on the nose. The palate is medium bodied with bright fruit, red berries and a hint of earthiness. A soft, elegant style with clean acidity and fine balance.

Made in the traditional style with dark plum and spicy prune characters, its full, but lean and dry with a savoury finish. Barbera is versatile, able to go 'formal' for a braise of beef or as easily as a barbeque.

Fontanafredda Briccotondo Barbera is a ruby-red wine with purple highlights. The nose is packed with black fruit, especially blackberries and plums, with slight spicy overtones hinting at black pepper and cinnamon. Sweet, soft tannins come together in a closely-woven texture that merges with the fruit, while a crisp freshness provides a lingering, tasty finish.

Cloves, spice and savoury fruit characters.Light to medium red tint with chocloate notes

La Zona Barbera is a rich purple coloured wine showcasing crimson hues. The bouquet is fruity and spicy, exuding fragrances of plums and blackberries. These aromas are followed by a medium bodied and intense palate brimming with more blackberries and plums coupled with chocolate characters. Notes of toasty vanilla complement these juicy flavours while great acidity balances it. Integrated with fine tannins, the palate culminates into a satisfying finish. Drink this wine now with slow roasted game, pasta in tomato sauce or pizza.

The joy of Barbera is the soft, flavour-full palate of prunes and eastern spices finishing with silk-like tannins that hang on and on. For food, what could be better than Osso Buco or Ox Tail slowly cooked Italian style.
