Made from Barbera grapes grown in a large hilly area in the provinces of Asti and Alessandria characterised by calcareous, clayey and sandy soil. Winy, ethereal, with notes of blackberry, plum and spices on the nose. On the palate it is dry, round, bold and full-bodied.
I love Barbera, especially wines that have the balance between upfront fruit and tannin. This wine has that in spades and is beautifully balanced with lovely spicy Barbera fruit that highlights why Barbera from the Asti region in Piemonte is considered some of the world's best. With the cost of wine increasing dramaticially over the last few years, to be able to buy top line Italian Barbera dÁsti for $15 a bottle is absolutely crazy! Only 60 doz available for the whole of Australia.

Boccaccio Cellars offers real time shipping rates at checkout. These are heavily subsidised rates directly from Australia Post and will vary depending on your postcode.
Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing costs of postage we are unable to offer free shipping any longer. Postal increases have seen the average box of wine range from $30-$60, which can represent up to 500% of the cost of the average bottle of wine.
Your postal costs are calculated on the following factors:
- Where in Australia you are shipping to (Where rural postcodes obviously attract a higher charge)
- What in Australia you are shipping (Beer and water for example, are calculated in real time without any additional subsidy. This is because the margins for these products are minimal). Dry goods attract a discounted flat fee of $12 per carton (Calculated by gross weight).
Pickups on all items are encouraged.
