Bel Colle Barbera d’Alba DOC 2024 – Produced by Bel Colle in the heart of Alba, Piedmont, this Barbera captures the variety’s vibrant personality with purity and poise. Bursting with aromas of black cherry, plum and violet, it flows into a juicy, medium-bodied palate laced with spice, graphite and a touch of mineral lift. Bright acidity gives tension and freshness, balancing the ripe fruit beautifully. Awarded 90 points by James Suckling, the 2024 vintage is sleek and energetic – a modern, food-friendly Barbera that pairs effortlessly with tomato-based pastas, grilled meats or aged cheeses. Vibrant, polished and distinctly Piedmontese.
