A wonderfully smooth, oak-aged Barbera from Piedmont<\/h2>\n

The red wine La Luna e i Falo Barbera d\u2019Asti Superiore is a delicious fruit bomb. Black cherries, berries, and blackberries, but also hints of vanilla and chocolate on the nose. Wines from Piedmont can sometimes be a bit astringent. The makers of this wine have ensured that it is pleasantly smooth and fruity, partly due to the oak aging. An elegant and seductive wine from Piedmont with a distinct character of its own thanks to the soft tannins and well-balanced acidity, giving the wine a lovely firmness and freshness.<\/p>\n

Tasting note La Luna e i Falo Barbera d'Asti Superiore<\/h2>\n

The color of the wine is garnet red, and the aroma is intense and complex. There is a beautiful balance between dark red fruit, violets, licorice, and vanilla due to the oak aging. On the palate, this Barbera d\u2019Asti is deliciously juicy and pleasant. The fruit and vanilla reappear in the taste. The finish is long. A delicious wine with refined complexity in aroma and taste.<\/p>\n

The wine is made from the black grape\u00a0barbera<\/a>. Alongside the Nebbiolo grape, one of the best-known and most widely planted grape varieties in Piedmont. The wine has a beautiful name: La Luna E I Falo: The Moon and the Bonfire is a reference to a 1950 book by the Italian writer. Cesare Pavese<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Made with care and love<\/h2>\n

The wine is made by Terredavino – Viti Colte.<\/a> They choose quality over quantity. The vineyards have a low yield of high quality. Very important for a good Barbera! To achieve the best possible balance between structure and complexity, the grapes for La Luna e i Falo are sourced from various vineyards. After traditional vinification, the wine ages for another 12 months in small oak barrels, one-third of which are new. This gives the wine layered depth and character. The result is a very nuanced Barbera with class and expressiveness.<\/p>\n

Try drinking this wine with beef medallions with a morel mushroom sauce!<\/p>\n
