With cheese
Bra
Our pick Qualigeo pairs Bra Duro with Piedmont reds of more body and structure. Barbera d'Alba's bright acidity cuts through the savoury, aromatic aged paste, and its ripe fruit has the weight to match it.
Grana Padano
Our pick A finely granular, delicate-flavoured wheel is salty and savoury. Barbera d'Alba's high acidity refreshes it, and with moderate tannin the wine does not fight the grainy texture.

- Pair with. Agnolotti del plin, Risotto with meat sauce, Salumi platter. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
