Vintage Character Barbera d'Alba DOC 2022 'Carlot' from Agricola Gianpiero Marrone is a vibrant showcase of Piedmont’s beloved Barbera grape, crafted from vineyards rooted in the clay-limestone soils that define the gentle slopes near Alba. The 2022 vintage in Piedmont was marked by a notably warm and dry summer, producing Barbera wines with impressive ripeness, depth, and aromatic clarity—an excellent year for those who appreciate expressive, fruit-driven styles.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, 'Carlot' reveals enticing aromas of ripe cherries, violets, and wild berries, while the palate brims with juicy red fruit, subtle spice, and a lively acidity that brings freshness and structure. The wine’s silky tannins and lingering, mouthwatering finish make it exceptionally food-friendly. It pairs beautifully with roasted pork tenderloin seasoned with rosemary, classic Margherita pizza, or a wedge of aged Pecorino Romano, highlighting its brightness and zest at the table.
