2023 Ca' Viola - Barbera d'Alba Brichet (750ml)
The 2023 Ca’ Viola Barbera d’Alba Brichet delivers a focused, unoaked expression of Piedmont’s most food-responsive varietal. Grown across the mineral-rich slopes surrounding Alba, the grapes capture the vintage’s warm growing conditions while maintaining the region’s defining bright acidity. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel, the wine bypasses extended wood aging to preserve primary fruit purity and a lean, textural backbone.
Bright aromatics of black cherry, red currant, and crushed violet lead onto a firm, juicy mid-palate. Fine-grained tannins and a zesty, mineral-backed finish make the wine exceptionally easy drinking. It pairs best with handmade tagliatelle tossed in slow-cooked ragù, grilled sardines or trout, terrina di fegato, aged Taleggio, or simple herb-roasted chicken.
Serve this 750ml bottle slightly chilled at 58°F to emphasize its refreshing structure. The Brichet bottling reflects Ca’ Viola’s philosophy of transparent, site-driven winemaking, offering consistent vintage accuracy and everyday versatility straight from the carton. Enjoy from release through 2027 for optimal freshness.
