2024 Barbera
Sourced from 40% Steinbeck and 60% Bootjack vineyards, this Barbera was aged 15 months in barrel to build depth, texture, and integration. A portion of 30% American oak contributes warm notes of vanilla, spice, and toasted character while
allowing the vibrant fruit and natural acidity to remain at the forefront.
Tasting Notes
Bright and expressive, this Barbera opens with aromas of dried strawberry, blackberry, and plum layered with toasty oak, dried herbs, and black pepper. Luscious notes of vanilla and juicy fruit sweetness carry through the palate, balanced by fine tannins and a lingering raspberry finish.
Food Pairings
Pairs beautifully with grilled wild boar, creamy mushroom risotto, and truffle-forward dishes. The wines juicy dark fruit, earthy herbs, and subtle spice complement rich savory flavors while its bright acidity keeps each bite balanced and vibrant.
