2. Gaia Barbelino Monferrato Rosso
Don't mind any dust you might find on this bottle - it's the real deal! This Italian red wine, with its deep ruby color, offers a blend of fresh fruit flavors like cherry, strawberry, and raspberry, balanced with high acidity and medium tannin, making it ideal for Italian dishes. We love the elegance and versatility of Barbera - so food friendly, earthy and easy to love. It comes from an organic estate in Piedmont, Italy, that spans two rolling hills, with half of its 43 hectares dedicated to vines. Absolutely delicious!
