Anna Maria Abbona's Cado represents everything we love about modern Langhe Barbera: pure, expressive fruit married to the sort of balance that makes Piemonte so compelling. This 2019 shows the grape's natural vibrancy beautifully, with cherry and plum flavours lifted by Barbera's signature acidity and grounded by subtle earthy minerality from the Langhe hills. Ready to drink now but with enough structure to hold until 2031, this is Barbera as both everyday pleasure and proper wine. The Abbona family have been crafting wines like this for generations, understanding that the best Barbera doesn't need to shout - it simply delivers honest, food-friendly character with each glass.
