The Domenico Clerico 2021 Barbera d'Alba Trevigne offers extra fruit weight with blackberry, dark plum and spice. Winemaker Oscar Arrivabene says this is a very good year for Barbera. The wine feels lavish and soft over the palate, to pair with cheese-filled pasta. A high 15% alcohol content will help to break through the fat in that dish. Some 15,000 bottles were made.

The 2020 Barbera d'Alba Trevigne is named after the three sites that supply fruit for the blend. These are the San Pietro Vineyard, the northern Ginestra and southern Ginestra. This wine is dark, inky and rich with bold aromas of black fruit, spice, cola and lots of sweet earth or potting soil. There is a genuine quality to this wine that makes it the perfect companion to the simple but hearty dishes featured in traditional Piedmont cuisine such as agnolotti del plin.

A lush, polished version, this red is bursting with black cherry, plum and violet aromas and flavors. It's heady, showing a touch of heat on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2024. 1,600 cases made, 600 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbera d'Alba Select to Add

The Domenico Clerico 2018 Barbera d'Alba Trevigne sees its fruit sourced from three sites: the San Pietro vineyard, the northeast side of Ginestra and the southern part of Ginestra. These are nicely woven together with fruity softness, structure and freshness delivered in equal measure. The wine is redolent of dark cherry, dried blackberry and plum. That characteristic Barbera acidity is well played in this cool vintage with good focus: bright enough to cut through some lasagna. It never feels too sharp despite the cooler vintage. Some 15,000 bottles were made.
