Dear {},

We’ve just a few cases left of this outstandingly good value Barbera from one of our top Piedmont producers.

A small family run business based in La Morra with over sixteen hectares of vineyards and producing ten wines, The San Giuseppe is made from a selection of grapes from one of Andrea Oberto’s best vineyards. With a beautiful velvety richness from the old oak barrels as well as bright and precise fruit, this is an excellent example of the quality of wines produced from this estate.
