My obsession with Piedmont continues with the much underrated and under-appreciated Barbera.

About The Wine
Steve Pannell has a deep love for the wines of Piedmont. His prowess with Nebbiolo is well known, having produced one of the country's benchmark examples for the last decade.
Here he takes on the lesser-known Piedmontese variety, Barbera, with great results.It's made in as an open, juicy and vibrant expression of the variety. Built for easy drinking and the perfect match for a rustic wood-fired pizza.
If you're seeking out top examples of Italian varieties, Steve Pannell's offerings should be on the top of your list.

Quite simply, Stephen Pannell is one of Australia’s finest and most imaginative winemakers.

Steve’s wines are made with modern Australian food and wine culture at the front of mind. The wines come from a range of stunning McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills vineyards, and are made from sustainable varieties that properly suit his South Australian climate.

He is truly one of the most forward thinking and inspirational Australian winemakers alive today.
