Rivalta Barbera del Monferrato Superiore DOCG Piedmont

The Rivalta shows what Barbera del Monferrato can do at its best level: not a light everyday wine, but a structured red with real character that justifies the Superiore classification.

Villa Sparina is an established winery in Monferrato, the hilly heart of Piedmont between Asti and Alessandria. The Barbera grape has been at home here for centuries — and the DOCG Superiore category requires longer aging and stricter criteria than the simple DOC.

In the glass, the Rivalta glows in an intense ruby red. On the nose, it opens with black cherry, a hint of mint, and fine spice notes, plus balsamic nuances and a touch of coffee. On the palate, it shows the lively acidity typical of ripe Barbera, which carries the body without stinging — medium tannin, long, spicy finish.

It is best served at 16–18 °C with pasta al ragù, braised beef shoulder, or salumi from Piedmont. It also cuts a fine figure with ripe Pecorino.
