Territory and style of the wine

This wine belongs to the Barbera d'Alba DOC denomination, one of the most well-known expressions of Piedmont, a land of choice for wines with personality and great capacity to engage with the table. Barbera has historically been appreciated for its liveliness, generous fruit, and always satisfying drinkability, qualities that are also found in this interpretation by Saracco. The origin from a small sustainably cultivated vineyard adds value to a production that is already very limited, focused on the care and identity of the fruit.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents with an intense and bright ruby red, typical of the type. On the nose, clear aromas of raspberry emerge, accompanied by hints of dark fruits and a nuance reminiscent of bitter chocolate. On the palate, the wine shows a soft, smooth, and pleasantly fruity profile, with a consistent aromatic correspondence between nose and palate. The freshness supports the drink and gives it lift, while the structure remains balanced, without excesses. The finish leaves a savory and slightly dry sensation, inviting another sip.

Recommended pairings

The Barbera d'Alba DOC Per Sbaglio Saracco pairs naturally with cured meats, flavorful first courses, agnolotti, tajarin with ragù, white meats, and not overly complex roasts. It is also excellent with preparations from Piedmontese cuisine, medium-aged cheeses, and dishes with a strong but not excessively fatty flavor. Its softness and freshness make it suitable for a well-curated everyday table, but also for an informal dinner with dishes of good intensity.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate the Barbera d'Alba DOC Per Sbaglio Saracco, a serving temperature between 16 and 18°C is recommended. Generally, it does not require long aeration, but it can be helpful to open it a few minutes beforehand to enhance its fruity aromas and pleasant softness.
