Pizza and Barbera

Tonight we tested once more the pairing ability of Italian wines and Italian food. Home-made pizza (Mozzarella cheese, anchovies, capers, herbs ... quite a difficult one to pair) and Elio Altare´s Barbera d´Alba 2008 was our favorite wine/food pairing.

Barbera d´Alba 2008 from viticoltore Elio Altare - good - €17,50 (Pub Klemo)

fairly purple red, cherries and sour cherries, black pepper on the nose, good acid structure, fruit forward on the palate, refreshing, nice typical Barbera style.
