The Tenuta Garetto Rosina Barbera d’Asti is a quintessential expression of Piedmont’s most beloved grape, offering a vibrant and authentic taste of the region. This wine stands out for its bright, fruit-forward character and remarkable versatility, making it a superb everyday red.
The Gianni Gagliardo family, a historic Barolo producer with six generations of winemaking heritage, is the force behind this bottle. Their acquisition of the Tenuta Garetto estate in Agliano Terme in 2017 signaled a deep commitment to producing world-class Barbera from one of its finest terroirs. The Gagliardo name is synonymous with elegance and a profound respect for the traditional grapes of Piedmont.
In the glass, the wine displays a brilliant ruby-red hue with youthful highlights, releasing inviting aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, and a touch of sweet spice. The palate is juicy and well-balanced, where fresh acidity enlivens the core of red fruit flavors, all supported by soft, gentle tannins. It culminates in a clean and persistent finish that is both refreshing and satisfying.
For the best tasting experience, serve this Barbera d’Asti slightly chilled at around 16°C (61°F). It is an incredibly food-friendly wine that pairs beautifully with classic Italian fare such as pasta with ragù, pizza, cured meats, and medium-aged cheeses.
