Barbera makes the perfect Wednesday night red wine. It goes with all sorts of different foods, from a wide range of pasta dishes to chicken or salmon, or tacos, or a hamburger for that matter.

The Piccolo Goccio variation is made by an excellent winery in the Asti area of Piedmont, which is Barbera’s home region, and we selected this cuvée for its bright take on the variety. We find it extremely quaffable and chillable as well, showing bright fruit notes like cherry and raspberry, with fresh acidity and little tannin.

About PICCOLO GOCCIO:
Piccolo Goccio is a range of authentic Italian wines, the same kind of wines you would be drinking sitting in a cafè in Italy. (‘Piccolo Goccio’ means little sip, in Italian.) The wines are made from local grape varieties grown in different parts of Italy by some of our our favorite producers who take great care in their grape-growing and winemaking. Each wine has been chosen as an excellent selection for food pairing and daily drinking.

A NOTE ON SUSTAINABILITY
Piccolo Goccio wines are not only delicious, but packaged with the environment in mind. We went to extra lengths to ensure that we adhered to our values of doing less harm when possible. To that end all Piccolo Goccio wines are packaged according to the following specifications:

Lighter bottles. The empty bottle for each wine ranges from 395g – 410g (the Brut is 750g which is the lowest allowable for a sparkling bottle). Lighter bottles have a smaller carbon footprint to start with (between a third and a half smaller than the average bottle), and are of course much more carbon-efficient to ship

Lack of capsules. Wines bottled with Diam (not screwcap) do not have capsules, saving on foil and plastic.

Environmentally friendly labels. All paper for front and back labels is made from 40% recycled material with 55% environmentally friendly fiber (certified FSC®). The remaining 5% is cotton fiber.
