Tumblong Hills 'Table of Plenty' Barbera 2023 biondi-santi where nutrient poorBarbera hails from Piedmont in northwest Italy (also home to nebbiolo), where it's flocked to by locals for its easygoing tannins, fresh acidity and all round delicious everyday appeal. This example from Tumblong Hills nails the brief, and then some. Classic blueberry and fresh dark plum flavours, medium bodied and very comforting.
