2022 Guido Porro Barbera d’Alba “Vigna Santa Caterina”
The 40-year old vines for this Barbera sit in a privileged Barolo site, so there is no shortage of pedigree here. It’s a head-turning everyday pizza wine that makes you feel like you got a good deal. We love those wines. It’s also something you want to have on hand for a dinner party – and if you aren’t having pizza, enjoy it with chicken parmigiana.
