Product: This Barbaresco has a garnet red colour with orange tinges. In the glass, it gives off ethereal and spicy fragrances, with light vanilla and flowery notes. It’s generous and on the fruity side, yet has an elegant, very delicate demeanour – sour cherry, black plum, blueberry, hints of cardamum and vanilla spice. The tannins are chalky and powdery. It’s well-balanced with a persistent finish.
The altitude of Bera's vineyard is relative high - 320-380 metres - with a southeast exposition for the Barbaresco vines. Red fruit aromas pack a punch, along with rose and water and cinnamon sweetness. The multi-dimensional profile dominates the pallet as well, with pomegranate and red cherry pulp. The structure follows, with fierce, slightly austere tannins on the finish and crisp acidity. Barbaresco for the long haul. Drink 2022-2039. - 94 pts Decanter

Producer Info: The Bera Family Farm was established in 1979 by husband-and-wife team, Valter and Alida Bera, now joined by second generation brothers, Umberto, and Riccardo Bera. The picturesque winery is located in the scenic Piedmont region of Italy within the Langhe area between Alba and Asti. The winemaking tradition stretches back centuries in the Bera family and the passion and preservations of the vineyard remains the core of their existence since it was first tended to in the 50’s.
From sparkling to sweet and white to reds, the Bera's produce it all exceptionally, thanks to their traditional and modest style. Today, Bera Wines is the home to 30 hectares of land, majority of which includes vineyards that spread into nearby towns. This is where the family makes the very best use of applying their traditional methods of producing wine. This starts from the growing and crushing of the grapes right through to the bottling process.
