Cadgal Barbera d’Asti Mavi 2023
Cadgal Barbera d’Asti Mavi 2023 was fermented in stainless steel to emphasize purity and opens with clear notes of sour cherry, crushed plum, violet, and a faint iron edge, backed by hints of fresh herbs and graphite. The palate is lively and direct, driven by Barbera’s natural acidity, which keeps the fruit taut and the finish mouthwatering without feeling lean. There’s honest fruit and site expression, which makes it especially appealing at the table; think tomato-braised dishes or aged cheeses. Approachable now for its brightness, it should hold its shape over the next three to five years, and at its typical market tier, it delivers the kind of character that overperforms its price point. Tasted October 2025.
Process: Stainless steel fermentation. Once bottled in the summer following the harvest, the wine continued aging at least 3 months.
