Barbera d’Asti DOCG Superiore I Tre Vescovi 2022 – Vinchio Vaglio
£18.80
A 100% Barbera wine, I Tre Vescovi displays a deep ruby red color with delicate garnet reflections. Full-bodied and complex, it offers a spicy bouquet with enticing notes of black pepper, tobacco, vanilla, and a caramelised finish. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, this wine gains elegance, depth, and a velvety texture.
It pairs wonderfully with dishes like tagliatelle with mushrooms, lasagna, and red meat-based mains such as braised beef or roasted meats. It also complements game and blue, aged, or spicy cheeses beautifully. For a true Piedmontese experience, try it with Plin al ragù; a traditional stuffed pasta similar to ravioli.

Barbera d’Asti DOCG Superiore I Tre Vescovi, Why We Love It and Why You'll Love It Too
Barbera d’Asti DOCG Superiore I Tre Vescovi has become the flagship wine of both the winery and the Barbera grape itself, capturing the essence of its territory. The name refers to the “Bricco dei Tre Vescovi,” a prestigious Barbera cru located where the boundaries of the dioceses of Asti, Acqui Terme, and Alessandria meet. Legend has it that in the past, the bishops would gather here to discuss the affairs of their lands and boundaries, and over a good glass of Barbera, the discussions became much easier to resolve.
Why will you love it? Because it’s a wine made for food lovers! From hearty pasta dishes and slow-cooked roasts to aged and spicy cheeses, this wine pairs beautifully with almost everything. Trust us, try it with tortellini al ragù! The value for money is unbeatable.
