2024 Burlotto - Barbera d'Alba (750ml)

The 2024 Burlotto Barbera d’Alba follows the estate’s traditional winemaking protocol, fermenting with native yeasts and aging in large neutral Slavonian oak casks that gently round the structure while retaining the variety’s characteristic acidity. Sourced from mature Vineyards in the central Langhe, the wine channels bright red fruit, fine tannic grip, and a pronounced stony minerality that distinguishes the best expressions of the appellation.

Expect concentrated aromatics of sour cherry, wild raspberry, and dried violet, layering into subtle hints of cured tobacco, cracked black pepper, and Mediterranean thyme. The medium-bodied palate unfolds with Juicy plum and redcurrant flavors, supported by polished tannins and a persistent, saline-driven finish. The 2024 growing conditions produced dense skins and healthy sugar accumulations, yielding a wine that balances immediate drinkability with three to six years of cellar potential under steady storage temperatures.

Serve this Barbera alongside tomato-heavy pastas, braised calf’s liver, herb-roasted chicken, or grilled pork sausages—robust preparations that match the wine’s brightness without competing with its herbal backbone. Lightly chill to 16–18°C (61–64°F) before uncorking. A short pour into a glass reveals the floral lift, making it equally effective paired with aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano, aged Pecorino, or dry-cured salumi.
