Guido Porro 's Barbera d'Alba "Santa Caterina" 2024 is a genuine and territorial expression of Barbera di Serralunga d'Alba, combining freshness, depth, and great drinkability. It displays a deep, brilliant ruby color. The aromatic profile is clear and inviting, with notes of crisp cherry, fresh plum, and small red fruits, complemented by subtle floral and spicy nuances. On the palate, it is lively and juicy, supported by a typical vibrant acidity, soft tannins, and a clean, fresh, and harmonious finish. An authentic Barbera, designed for quality everyday drinking but also capable of developing over a short period of time.

 Production Method: Conventional. The grapes are 100% Barbera , sourced from the “Santa Caterina” vineyard, located in the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba on calcareous-marly soils. The harvest is manual with careful selection of the bunches. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, with medium-short maceration on the skins to preserve freshness and aromatic precision. After malolactic fermentation, the wine ages primarily in steel and partly in large oak barrels , according to the winery's traditional style, followed by a brief aging in the bottle.

 Pairings : Perfect with everyday Piedmontese cuisine: tajarin with ragù, agnolotti, cured meats, roasted white meats, light grills, and semi-mature cheeses. Also excellent with gourmet pizza.
