We asked our friend and sommelier Claudio Povero to taste for us our Barbera d’Alba Doc 2023 by Dogliani Il generale
Claudio is passionate about the "Made in Italy" ethos and his career spans more than 20 years as a professional sommelier between Italy and England. He has worked for names like Gordon Ramsay at the Savoy Hotel and the Michelin-starred Maze restaurant in London. He also gained valuable experience at Christie's Auction House working in their Fine and Rare Wine&Spirits dept.
Today he is Trade Analyst at the the Italian Trade Agency in London, promoting and spreading the love for Italian wines and spirits in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
He matched the Barbera d’Alba with a juicy grilled steak and here his comment on the wine:
“On the palate, Barbera d'Alba from Dogliani Il Generale reveals a bright acidity that gives a refreshing quality and balances its lush fruitiness. As you lift the glass to your nose, the dominant notes of plums envelop you and transport you wandering through the sun-drenched orchards of Italy. I would picture myself gazing at the interplay of sunlight and clouds, a glass of this exquisite wine in hand.”
Grazie Claudio for choosing one of the Tacco’s Portfolio wine and we are glad you enjoyed it!!
The history of the Dogliani winery
Since five generations, the Dogliani is a family of winemakers in the Langhe. Craftsmanship and sartorial care of the raw material, inspire our look at innovation. The story of the Dogliani family starts more than 150 years ago, when in 1856 the "Generale" Domenico Dogliani decided to turn his passion in job.
The Dogliani Il Generale wine company is today ably managed by Ilario, Alberto and Mauro. The fraternal union that makes strength.
Now, after almost twenty years of innovation and constant evolution, the Dogliani Il Generale is ready to be run by the fifth generation. This is already represented by a production manager, a PhD in oenology and agronomy and an executive for international marketing.
