The 2018 Barbera d'Asti LeRadici is another surprise hit from Mauro Molino. This line of entry-level reds delivers quite a few delicious surprises. You have some good choices to pair with informal meat and pasta dishes. This Barbera, of which 25,000 bottles were produced, opens to a medium body and a bright, saturated color. There is a lot of bold cherry fruit with subtle hints of earth and dark spice. That tonic, crisp acidity that Barbera is known for shows nicely in this expression from Asti.
