Barbera del Monferrato 2023

The Gaudio family established their family winery on the Mondalino hill - bricco in Italian - in Monferrato in 1973. Here, Beatrice Gaudio crafts a range of deliciuous wines working with the local varieties Barbera, Grignolino, Freisa and the rare Malvasia Nera.

Barbera is the most widely planted red grape in Piedmont but the Monferrato hills are thought to be its original home. This is plump and juicy with dark cherry and plum fruit, and the 10% addition of the local Fresia gives the wine a little more perfume and spice.
