ITALY : PIEMONTE : LANGHE
SUSTAINABLE : Barbera
MED-BODIED, PLUM, CHERRY PIT, CHESTNUT, BLACK PEPPER, NEUTRAL OAK
The Faccenda brothers acquired the Guidobono estate in 2003 and farm sustainably across two of Piemonte’s defining sub-regions: Castellinaldo in Roero for Arneis, and Monforte d’Alba in the Langhe for Barbera, Nebbiolo and Barolo. This Barbera comes from estate plots in the same Barolo commune at one-third the price.
30-to-40-year-old vines on limestone-clay; stainless steel fermentation at 25–26°C; aging in 150–200L wood casks and twice-used French barriques — neutral wood only, no new oak. James Suckling 90 pts on the 2024.
PAIRINGS :
| Tajarin al ragù | Piemontese egg-yolk pasta with meat sauce — regional precedent |
| Pasta all’amatriciana | Guanciale, tomato and pecorino; the dish writes itself for Barbera |
| Salumi board | Finocchiona, soppressata, salame piccante — bright acid lifts the fat |
