Cantine Scrimaglio Piemonte Rosso 2022

Cantine Scrimaglio is a historic family winery in Nizza Monferrato — a town in the Monferrato hills of Piedmont that sits at the heart of the Barbera d'Asti DOCG, one of Italy's most food-friendly and characterful red wine appellations. The Scrimaglio family has been producing wine in this corner of Piedmont for generations, maintaining traditional practices and a deep respect for the indigenous varieties that have defined the region's wine culture for centuries. Their Piemonte Rosso is an approachable, everyday expression of Piedmontese red wine — a blend that captures the fresh, fruit-forward character of the region's varieties in a wine designed for immediate pleasure and effortless pairing with food.

The 2022 Cantine Scrimaglio Piemonte Rosso is a Barbera-dominant blend from a vintage that delivered excellent freshness and aromatic definition across Piedmont. Bright ruby in the glass, the nose is fresh and inviting: ripe dark cherry, blackberry, and violet with a hint of dried herbs and a characteristic earthy depth. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with soft tannins, lively acidity — the hallmark of great Barbera — and a clean, fruit-forward finish that makes it one of Piedmont's most reliably enjoyable everyday reds.

The Cantine Scrimaglio Piemonte Rosso 2022 is a quintessential Italian table wine — exceptional alongside pasta with meat sauce, grilled sausages, pizza, or a selection of local cheeses, and a reliable choice for any occasion that calls for something genuinely Italian and unpretentious.
