Val du Vino Barbera Red Wine 2022 – Premium Italian Vintage

2022 Val du Vino Sierra Foothills Barbera: 2025 San Francisco Chronicle Red Sweepstakes Winner

Sip into a masterpiece crafted in California’s iconic Sierra Foothills terroir. This 2022 Val du Vino Barbera earned top honors at the 2025 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, showcasing why this Italian varietal thrives in our region’s unique microclimate.

Why It Stands Out:
The Sierra Foothills’ long sunny days and cool evenings work magic on Barbera grapes, softening their natural tartness to reveal a wine that’s both vibrant and velvety. Unlike mainstream California reds, this limited-edition bottle delivers bold fruit flavors with refined balance—perfect for foodies seeking something beyond the ordinary.

Taste the Difference:
Expect lush notes of ripe cherry and dark plum with hints of spice and vanilla from careful oak aging. At 15.6% alcohol, it’s rich yet approachable—a crowd-pleaser whether you’re hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet evening at home.

Pairing Potential:
This versatile red shines with hearty dishes like braised short ribs or mushroom risotto. Its bright acidity cuts through richness while its smooth tannins make it surprisingly versatile with lighter fare too.

A Trophy-Winning Experience:
Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of California wine history. Each bottle tells a story of craftsmanship and terroir—crafted to elevate your table with every sip.
