2022 Ruggeri Corsini 'Armujan' Barbera d'Alba DOC

From: Corsini, Monforte d'Alba, Piedmonte, ItalyVarietal: BarberaTaste: The glass is a deep ruby with violet reflections. The nose is layered with ripe blackberry, dark cherry, and plum, interwoven with sweet spice, cocoa, and balsamic notes. It is full-bodied and structured on the palate, with vibrant acidity and velvety tannins supporting a core of juicy dark fruit. Subtle hints of vanilla and toasted oak emerge on the finish, adding depth and elegance.

 Pairing: The balance of acidity, fruit, and structure makes 'Armujan' an excellent match for rich, flavorful dishes. Traditional Piedmontese pairings include braised beef with polenta or agnolotti del plin with butter and sage, highlighting the wine’s depth while complementing its natural acidity. Its bright fruit and spice also pair well with roast pork loin, rosemary, and garlic, where acidity cuts through the meat's richness.
