Tasting Note:
Great Barbera is all about juicy fruit and electric acidity, and “Ca’ del Buc” lives in that sweet spot. Think black cherry, plum, violet, and a little baking spice, with a bright, mouthwatering finish that makes it insanely food-friendly. Medium-bodied, dry, and energetic, it’s the kind of red that works on a Tuesday but still feels like it has a point of view. A perfect bottle for red sauce pasta, meatballs, pizza, roast chicken, or burgers when you want the wine to keep things lively.

About the Producer:
De Forville is a classic Piedmont name with a clean, traditional sensibility. The style here favors balance and drinkability, keeping Barbera’s natural brightness front and center.
