Poderi Colla Barbera d'Alba Costa Bruna 2022Barbera is Piedmonts most widely planted red grape, but still has a bit of a funny reputation in the region, where its beloved as an everyday table wine while still often dismissed as secondary to Nebbiolo. When treated with care, though, Barbera is capable of producing serious red wines that pair beautifully with regional specialties like agnolotti and risotto.

Fatto Coi Piedi translates to “made with feet

with 20 days on the skins

This wine is 100% Moschomavro

” Her goal was to make a lush

we want to use our native land to produce wines of consistent quality

and deliciously ripe tannins

It’s always a tad rustic

” The wine featured this month is Vinatigo’s Listán Blanco
