Ronchi Barbera d’Alba “Terlé” 2018
A juicy, joyful red that is exactly what you want with savory stews or air-dried salami. Barbera fruit grown near the family’s cru ‘Ronchi’ vineyard is plum-heady, wonderfully silky. Aged 12 months in a combination of French oak barrels and traditional “botti,” this Barbera is also a step above most “basic” bottlings. In Piedmontese dialect, “terlé” means to be emotionally thrilled, to be intensely moved by joyful events. Such as a friend pouring you a glorious glass of Barbera!
