2024 Alessandria Barbera d'Alba

The 2024 Fratelli Alessandria Barbera d'Alba is a vibrant expression of Piedmont’s most beloved everyday red, produced by the historic Fratelli Alessandria estate in Verduno. Sourced from the Neirane and Cristiani vineyards, planted on limestone-rich soils, the wine is fermented and aged exclusively in stainless steel and cement to preserve the purity, freshness and youthful energy of the Barbera grape.

The nose shows red cherry, plum and blackberry with hints of baking spice, rose petal and lavender. Juicy and polished on the palate, it combines vibrant fruit with Barbera’s trademark bright acidity and soft tannins, creating a wine that is both refreshing and immensely drinkable. Vinous awarded the wine 91 points, praising its silky texture, aromatic lift and immediate appeal.

Ben’s Recommendation:
A classic, food-friendly Barbera that delivers outstanding value and versatility. Bright, energetic and packed with character, it pairs beautifully with pasta, pizza, grilled meats, charcuterie and aged cheeses. Enjoy over the next 3–5 years while its vibrant fruit and freshness are at their peak.
