Why to buy: Each in this trio of sensual reds—one from a small Sicilian producer, one from a rising star region of Spain and one a stunning Barbera—boast impressive point accolades making this triple-threat a phenomenal value.
Nose, palate and pairing: Dark, ruby-red and brimming with aromas of blackberries and leather the Barbera boasts a jammy, berry and spice pervaded palate underpinned by savory notes and luscious tannins. Drink this with roasted meats, rich pastas or fresh, creamy cheeses.
Medium bodied and soft the all-natural COS gives cherry, truffle and smoky flavors in the mouth with a long finish. We love this wine with everything from fish and chips to a piece of artisan chocolate.
A lovely pairing with fish or poultry, enologist Sara Pérez’s Dido “La Univeral” 2008 has a juicy, tannic structure with a soft, silky finish. It’s a true medium bodied wine that can easily hold up to rich dishes.
What the pros think:"I love all three of these wines. La Universal “Dido” is from the acclaimed Spainsh couple, Sara Perez and Rene Barbier, Jr. Just outside of Priorat, in the Montasant, they have old-vine garnacha along with cabernet sauvignon and merlot. The intense granite and schist soils clearly impact their delicious textured wines.
Mirafiore Barbera d’Alba 2009 is simply put, a rockstar. I first tasted this Barbera at the winery, just as it was being bottled. I knew then that winemaker Danilo Drocco was onto something special. At the historic Mirafiore, great vineyards yield beautiful ripe fruit that Drocco crafts into a deliciously ripe yet bold Barbera that pairs with pretty much everything. Barbera is the ultimate wine for daily living. In Piemonte, it's the wine you'll always find on the dinner table. Here's your chance to try Barbera. You can't go wrong with this one.
Finally, COS Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico from Sicily will brighten your day. Of the three wines in this set, it is the lightest in body, yet it is has complexity and depth that will surprise you."
