Bosio Winery
Fanciful Name: Truffle Hunter - Leda
Varietal: Barbera
Vintage: 2021
Country of Origin: Italy
Appellation: Barbera d'Asti
Retail Price: $14.99

Tasting Notes: This whimsical wine is produced by the Bosio family to honor their prized truffle hunting dog “Leda.” Sourced grapes come from the famed Asti district in Piedmont with an average of 25-year-old vines. Medium-bodied, with zesty acidity. Dark rich color offers up deep plum, black cherry and strawberry notes. Fermented in stainless steel and then aged for 12 months (six in barrel, six in bottle). This food-friendly wine is a great alternative to traditional chianti’s and is perfect with a hardy winter beef stew. A great value.
