Prunotto “Fiulot” Barbera d’Asti DOCG

There’s something “just right” about a good Babera d’Asti. Silky, but not too light. Fruity, but not too rich. Intensely coloured and heaps of aromas that lull you into the glass. A stunningly food-friendly red famous for coming from the hilly region of Asti in northwest Italy. And also famous for being perfect to drink with almost anything. If Goldilocks were drinking this, she’d have it ever so slightly chilled (not too warm, not too cold) alongside a Neapolitan pizza.

The Barbera grape is well known for its approachable, fruity, perfumed characteristics. It’s also most famous for coming from Italy’s northwestern Piemonte region–a hilly, misty, magical area that’s also famous for things like truffles (white and black), hazelnuts, and homemade egg pasta. So when we say that a wine like Barbera d’Asti is incredibly food friendly, it starts to make a bit of sense. You can’t have amazing regional food without appropriate wines to match.  
The name “Fiulot” in the local dialect in Piemonte means “young man.” The name is aptly given to this youthful, vibrant drop–a fresh, delcious and easy expression. You’ll probably want more than one bottle handy.
