G. B. Burlotto Barbera d'Alba, Piedmont, Italy 2023

This is “the” young red for Piedmontese cuisine, a region to which it seems to naturally belong. Its zeal, in fact, has no frills or trappings: it referees the game of the meal with the purest spirit of service, staying on the sidelines as much as possible. In the end, however, we recall Barbera thankfully, as at the table it promotes honest well-being.
