2024 Francesco Rinaldi Barbera d'Alba

Slurp Wines NR

Barbera is what the people of Piedmont drink on a Tuesday night, while the Barolo waits for special occasions. Francesco Rinaldi is a traditional Barolo house run by sisters Paola and Piera Rinaldi, and their Barbera is bright, juicy and full of life. Loads of cherry, raspberry and plum, with low tannins and fresh acidity that makes your mouth water. It's a brilliant pizza and pasta wine, and just as good with a plate of salami and cheese.
