From the artisanal Iuli estate, the 2023 “Umberta” is a stunningly pure and vibrant expression of Barbera, crafted in a traditional, low-intervention style. The nose is bursting with fresh aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry, and plum, accented by notes of violet and savory earth. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and crunchy, with a core of pristine dark fruit driven by Barbera’s signature mouthwatering acidity. The finish is clean, persistent, and savory. A fantastic, food-friendly red that captures the true soul of Alto Monferrato.
