About the wine
An expertly crafted, authentic Italian red packed full of charm and plush intensity
- Barbera is Piedmont’s oldest and most authentic grape variety, and Serena’s family have been making the best in class for generations.
- The vines are planted in deep, structured red clay soil with a south-west sun exposure. This allows the grapes to reach a full and complete ripening, resulting in a rich purple colour, intense raspberry notes on the nose, and the palate’s mellow quality.
- The name Barbera comes from the mediaeval latin ‘Barberus’, meaning ‘impetuous’ or ‘fearless’ - this distinctively strong and vibrant wine reflects this perfectly.

Serving advice
Best served at 16°C. If you choose to leave your bottle to age for a little while,
be sure to decant before serving, giving the wine an opportunity to open up.
Food match
I personally really enjoy pairing this wine with some
'bollito misto' (a local veal stew) served with some
delicious Piedmonte sauce!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Serena Cordero
-
Serena’s been delighting Angels for years with the top-shelf Italian wines she makes alongside her dad in Piedmont, like Barolo and Gavi di Gavi. Now, she’s also blazing new trails with a set of stunning Moldovan whites that’ve gone gangbusters. We can’t wait to see what she has up her sleeve next.
-
Serena knew from an early age she wanted to follow in the family footsteps… ‘I was 7 years old. Probably as a daughter in love with her dad, it was inevitable :-)’. She’s blossomed into a super-talented winemaker and is making her father proud with every bottle she makes.
-
Angel support helps Serena continue her family legacy, creating wines from the very same patch her grandad farmed years ago - and it’s also giving her the opportunity to discover new, off-the-beaten-track wines like her Moldovan gems. That’s why she’s so grateful and proud to share her kit with UK wine-lovers like you.
