Wine Gallery - Barbera - Dal Zotto Barbera 2017

Check out the Wine Gallery's chief wine officer, Banjo Harris Plane as he taste tests all our latest wine adventures.

Barbera is indigenous to the north-west of Italy, where it often plays second fiddle to the more famous Nebbiolo. This is a shame, because the sheer juiciness of the grape variety is a real pleasure to drink, so it's great to find an Australian version that is good drinking. There's plenty of red fruit here - rhubarb, red cherry and raspberry, with a succulence born from the clean acidity and snappy lines of this wine. It really drinks like a light-bodied Pinot Noir, with plenty of floral characters and very a soft, silky palate. Whilst a different beast to Italian Barberas, this offers great drinking pleasure.
