Description
Discover Viberti Barbera d'Alba La Gemella, a heartfelt red wine from Piedmont, Italy, crafted as a tribute to the winemaker's mother, Maria—a twin whose passion for Barbera inspired its name, translating to "the twin" in Italian. This 750ml bottle, with its 14% ABV, captures the essence of family legacy in every pour, offering a dry profile that invites exploration for lovers of bold Italian reds.
From the first swirl, aromas rise with the delicate scent of wild rose petals mingling alongside ripe berries and a subtle hint of crushed stone, drawing you into Piedmont's rugged landscapes. It's an invitation to savor the region's vibrant character without leaving your glass.
On the palate, this Barbera unfolds in generous, full layers where deep blueberry notes intertwine with hints of liquorice and earthy undertones. The wine maintains perfect equilibrium, thanks to its lively acidity that refreshes with each sip, paired with smooth, silky tannins that caress rather than grip.
What elevates La Gemella to standout status is its persistent finish, lingering long after the last drop, leaving impressions of juicy sour cherries and floral echoes. James Suckling awarded it 91 points, noting its "pretty intense nose with crushed cherries, flowers and stones. Juicy and medium-bodied on the palate, with fresh tannins and a succulent finish drenched with sour cherries."
Ideal for those evenings when you crave a wine that tells a story—of twins, tradition, and terroir—Viberti Barbera d'Alba La Gemella pairs effortlessly with hearty pasta dishes or grilled meats, enhancing flavors without overpowering them. At this price point, it delivers exceptional value, making it a smart addition to your collection or a thoughtful gift for fellow Barbera enthusiasts. Pour a glass and raise one to Maria's enduring influence in every vibrant bottle.
