Description:
An Italian winemaker extraordinaire known for being one-quarter of the "Erpacrife Four" - a ragtag bunch notorious for producing fizzy stuff with unsuited grapes - Paolo Stella is more than capable of getting his conventional on with some amazing reds like the Barbera d'Asti.
Grown on the Stella estate in Piedmont, a region in Italy famed for the Barbera varietal, the Stella Barbera d'Asti is a completely unoaked red that sings the ballads of balance and fruit integrity with operatic bravado. Plummed and berried to perfection, it has notably less body than your more robust reds and a touch of top-up-inducing minerality.
Bring this tasty bottle to a soiree and you'll gain notoriety for producing some seriously excellent reds at any given occasion; and who doesn't want that tasty reputation?
