Valli Unite Barb and the Beast Sparkling Barbera 2020

Varietal: Barbera, Dolcetto

Region: Costa Vescovato, Piemonte, Italy

Tasting Profile: Fruity and a little funky, this sparkler from the southeastern corner of Piemonte is born of one of Italy’s first natural wine cooperatives created in the 70’s. Vineyards lie amid beehives, farm animals, orchards, and truffle filled woodlands. From honey to homemade salame, and wine in-between, 30 members work on the 100-hectare farm and call it home. During harvest, you can still stomp grapes with your bare feet here.
