Barbera is the most widely planted grape in Piemonte where it generally plays second fiddle to Nebbiolo, of Barolo and Barbaresco fame. This lovely Le Grive is an intriguing blend of the high acid Barbera grape paired with the softer Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) for a contrast of opposites that create a wonderful whole. This is a great example of complementary synergies. It is riper and softer than most Barbera due mostly to the blend of Pinot Noir, with sweet round fruit and a lovely smooth finish. - Jeff Prather
2011 Sella Erbaluce Doranda
Piemonte, Italy

This is a clean crisp white wine from Italy made from an ancient grape of the Piemonte region. An indigenous variety of Piemonte, it has not shared the resurgence that Arneis has, and for some years it looked like it truly was heading for extinction. Erbaluce is an interesting variety but requires careful handling. It has fairly high acidity, which is a benefit providing the fruit is generous enough to balance it. The style of this Erbaluce is rich but not overpowering, with almond and mineral nuances. It exhibits tree fruit notes of pear and yellow apple along with fresh and clean acidity. - Jeff Prather
