Day 3 of Barbera Meeting came at just the right time for the Barbera Boys (& girl). Hearts were weak, hope almost lost…
Monferrato: Here I am to save the day!
The Barbera 7: Really? Monferrato! Bless you.
Monferrato: Some of my winemakers speak of the land, the barbera fruit, a thing called minerality…a sense of place. Barbera is our long time friend. We would like it to be yours too.
The Barbera 7: We thought you would never ask.
Monferrato: Meet Danilo Spinoglio. He enjoys the simple pleasures in life and shares with you his vision of barbera, of course, but also grignolino, cortese and freisa. Not to mention warm fires and the best grissini in Piemonte.
Monferrato: My land is rich…and old…full of stories and cellars and tuffaceous clay. And a man named Giovanni Rava and his La Casaccia barberas.
Monferrato: The life around the table. The real way to experience a wine. Salsiccia and ancient grains of polenta- Piemontese food. Piemontese wines.
The Barbera 7: Oh Monferrato… you vixen, you.
Monferrato: Ain’t no thang. You don’t know it yet, but you will soon be further enchanted by the mysterious Iuli, the sweetness of the black malvasia di casorzo and the drinking of barbera from my chalice of love.
