Paitin 'Serra' - Barbera d'Alba

This 2022 Barbera red wine hails from Piedmont, Italy. Paitin, a certified organic winery in Northern Italy, has been in the Pasquero - Elia family for 8 generations. 'Serra' gets its name from the Grand Cru vineyard Serraboella where the grapes are grown. The winery owns 17 hectares, and the Serraboella vineyards have soils of calcareous white clay with sandstone. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and then aged for 12 months in Slavonian oak. This medium - bodied red, made from 100% Barbera, offers delicious notes of red and black fruit, leather, and a hint of smoke. For the best experience, pair it with wild game!

To enjoy this Paitin 'Serra' Barbera d'Alba wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes after opening to enhance its aroma.

As for storage, keep it in a cool, dark place with a stable temperature. Avoid direct sunlight and sudden temperature changes. When it comes to pairing, wild game like venison or pheasant are great choices, but it can also go well with hearty pasta dishes.
