Tasting Notes & Pairing Ideas
- Bright garnet color with orange tinges. An intense aroma of red cherry fruit and violets is followed by flavors of red cherries, plums, and minerals on the palate, framed by bright acidity and firm tannins. A full-bodied well-balanced wine with a long finish.
- Braised dishes such as short ribs with polenta or Brasato al Barolo are classic pairings. Sublime with mushroom risotto or agnolotti dal plin with a generous shaving of white truffles.
Winery Profile
- Valter Bera represents the very best of small-scale Asti and Moscato d’Asti production in Piedmont. He has dedicated time and energy to making the wines of the Neviglie area known and appreciated.
- The family produces Moscato, Barbaresco, but also Dolcetto, Bracchetto Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbera and Barbera Superiore.
- Moscato d’Asti and fully sparkling Asti are today almost exclusively produced by large wineries. Valter Bera strives to return this historic wine to its small-winery roots, which means producing these wines by hand rather than by automation as well as working with the Martinotti (Charmat) method on a much smaller scale than his competitors.
