Product Description
This is a 2019 Barbera wine from Nizza, Piedmont, Italy. Dacapo, established in 1997, has been making refined wines that showcase the special terroirs of the Langhe and Monferrato hills and the full potential of native grape varieties. The grapes for 'Vigne Dacapo' come from Nizza, which got DOCG status in 2014. It's 100% Barbera, as per Nizza DOCG wine production rules. This designation means better growing sites and longer aging, resulting in a more concentrated, aromatic, and complex wine compared to lower - designated Barbera. In the glass, it has a dark color and starts with delicious blackberry, blueberry compote, and spice notes. On the finish, there are plum, tobacco, and a hint of walnut skin. It pairs perfectly with black truffle pasta or braised lamb shoulder.
To enjoy this wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour after opening. Pour it into a wide - rimmed wine glass to enhance the aroma. You can serve it at a temperature of around 60 - 64°F. When it comes to food pairing, as mentioned, black truffle pasta or braised lamb shoulder are great choices. But you can also try it with other rich, meaty dishes. Keep the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place. Once opened, re - cork it tightly and store it in the fridge. Try to finish it within 2 - 3 days to enjoy its full flavor.
