PIEDMONT, ITALY, 2019

BARBERA D’ASTI DOCG BY PODERI DEI BRICCHI ASTIGIANI 2019

If you love the diversity of Italian wine as much as we do, Barbera D’asti DOCG By Poderi Dei Bricchi Astigiani 2019 jumps right off the wine list. This is an incredible value-for-dollar Piedmont find under $19. Barbera is a ‘pet’ variety of Barolo-makers—one of the wines they’re most likely to reach for on a day-to-day basis. 

No one does “affordable rarities” quite like Italy, and within Italy, the Piedmont region is home to a staggering array of hyper-local grapes. Barbera is one such variety, found in the hills of Piedmont and practically nowhere else.

A LITTLE HISTORY

Poderi dei Bricchi Astigiani is a winery which might be considered of modest dimensions when compared to its sister estate, the Tuscan Badia di Morrona. In truth, however, it consists of 50 acres (20 hectares) of vineyards situated in one of the finest sub-zones of the province of Asti in Piedmont. 

Purchased at the end of the 1990’s, the Poderi dei Bricchi Astigiani estate represents the family’s challenge to Piedmont and its wines.

After succeeding in making the Badia di Morrona, acquired in 1939, an estate of indisputable level, they decided to put themselves to the test in the second of Italy’s most famous viticultural regions, famous all over the world as well.

No one does “affordable rarities” quite like Italy, and within Italy, the Piedmont region is home to a staggering array of hyper-local grapes. Barbera is one such variety, found in the hills of Piedmont and practically nowhere else.
