Longview’s Barbera is a project nearly 10 years in the making. Planted to 2 Piemontese clones, this classic Italian variety has required lots of attention in the vineyard. Aiming for the truest expression of Barbera, the wine is deeply coloured, fresh and soft with bright cherry fruit flavours - all with Barbera’s trademark acid structure and drive.
Its attire is as timeless as the ancient grape itself, captured in a rare Italian bottle emblazoned with the all-powerful ancient Roman God, Jupiter – King of the Gods, God of the Sky and Weather. He was always worshiped on the summits of hills and was the son of the God Saturn – the namesake of the Saturno family; custodians of Longview Vineyard.
Light brick red in colour with aromas of dried strawberries, plums and wild berries. The palate is medium bodied with savoury notes of nutmeg, rose petal, spice and maraschino cherries. Bright acidity is the backbone of this wine which lingers on the palate gracefully. Enjoy with Italian inspired dishes.
