Barbera Grape

◎ Aussehen

Deep garnet red with a warm translucent glow, characteristic of wine-influenced lambic. The head is fine and delicate, settling to a thin lace that clings gently to the glass rim. Natural carbonation delivers a steady, refined sparkle that underscores the wine-like character.

◌ Aroma

Intensely aromatic with ripe dark fruit—black cherry, plum, and red currant—leading the profile. Underlying funky, earthy notes from the three-year-old lambic base emerge gradually, complemented by subtle vinous oak complexity. A trace of tartness and wild yeast character adds depth without dominating.

◐ Geschmack

Full-bodied entry with juicy, lingering Barbera grape character that coats the palate. Mid-palate brings a tart, dry framework balanced against the wine's natural sweetness and soft tannins. Mild bitterness (10 IBU) remains in the background, allowing fruit and fermentation complexity to occupy center stage.

◑ Abgang

Long, complex aftertaste where dark fruit notes fade into earthy funk and subtle vinous tannin dryness. The finish remains crisp and defined, leaving a pleasant wine-like drying sensation on the palate.
