Winemaker Notes
Ecco Domani Barbera is a ruby red color tinged with shades of violet, with jammy blackberry and plum fruit aromas accented with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. On the palate, the wine has ripe full-bodied flavors and a crisp, spicy finish. A perfect match with bold, robust dishes, such as spicy Italian sausage with grilled bell peppers or veal shank braised in red wine.
Attracting the most glory, prestige and fame to the Piedmont region, Nebbiolo in all of its expressions—Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero, Ghemme and Gattinara—creates a complex wine, truly unique for its delicate qualities combined with strength and a great potential to improve over time.
But Nebbiolo isn’t all there is to red wine from Piedmont! Barbera is the most planted variety and historically most popular as a dependable, food-friendly, everyday wine.
Beyond these two, a surprising number of red varieties call Piedmont their home. Worth a try include Dolcetto for its bold concentration and aromas of spice cake. Other grapes to investigate include Freisa, Croatina, Brachetto, Grignolino and Pelaverga.
