Aldo Clerico Barbera d'Alba Biodynamic Red Wine
A ‘really good, soft and fleshy’ Barbera from Alba, from a single vineyard located in the Barolo designated wine region, one of the best areas for Barbera. Nice acidity and fruitiness with some spice, thanks to 14-16 month aging in new and used oak, following guidelines for a Superiore Barbera d’Alba.
A very balanced and elegant wine on the nose, and a good body and structure on the palate with a pleasant and vibrant acidity. A rounded wine with fresh yet fruity notes that finish with a creamy texture thanks to the oak barrel aging.
This Barbera d Alba red wine is biodynamic and from a single vineyard in Piedmont, Italy.

Ivaldi 1613 Nizza Barbera Biodynamic Natural Red Wine
The name of this red wine comes from the siege of Nizza Monferrato in 1613 by the Mantovan army. The women gathered to pray all night, and after the siege was lifted and won by Nizza Monferrato, an oil lamp in the church spontaneously burst into flames, despite the lack of spark and oil. Known as the ‘Miracle of the Lamp’, this wine pays homage to that evening, bearing not only the year as a name, but the image of the oil lamp on the label.
This Nizza DOCG is almost like a Barbera d’Asti riserva, as it is always made with 100% Barbera grapes, but only the best of the best of the Barbera clusters goes into this wine, before it spends 12 months in large used barrels then 2 years resting in the bottle.
Made with native yeast fermentation, it has a pretty ruby red color with garnet reflections. A fruity bouquet transforms into spicy notes as it opens, and on the palate this wine has nice tannins and acidity balanced by a robust body.
A certified sustainable winery, Ivaldi Dario practices regenerative farming.

Piovano | Piedmont Barbera Natural Red Wine Organic
Just imported in first time to the US, a 00 oak aged Barbera natural wine from a vineyard in Pascomonti, in the southern part of the Langhe, in Piedmont, this red wine is the most traditional take on a Barbera red wine from the Langhe: organically farmed, unfiltered, aged in neutral oak with no sulfites added and native yeast fermentation, this is great natural wine version of a Piedmont Barbera.
It has a fruity and spicy bouquet and on the palate has a nice balance of tannins and acidity. Overall, a structured wine with a lingering pleasant finish.
