$5.40The Story
Crafted by the Sartirano family at their San Silvestro estate in northern Italy's Piedmont region, this vibrant Italian red wine is made entirely from the Barbera grape. The name Ottone I pays tribute to the historic Holy Roman Emperor from local legends, grounding this modern bottle in regional heritage. The winemakers ferment the juice strictly in cool stainless steel tanks and completely avoid any wood barrels, allowing the pure, energetic fruit character to take centre stage. This unoaked style highlights the grape's naturally low tannins and bright, mouth-watering acidity, giving the liquid an incredibly smooth, refreshing feel. The result is a bright ruby-red pour absolutely bursting with upfront flavours of ripe red cherries, wild raspberries, and juicy black plums, finished with a subtle hint of soft spice. Because it is so fruity and fresh, San Silvestro Barbera Ottone I is highly versatile and works brilliantly as an easy-drinking weekend crowd-pleaser. At the dinner table, its crisp profile acts as a perfect counterweight to rich, savory dishes, making it a spectacular match for spaghetti bolognese, wood-fired pepperoni pizza, or grilled pork sausages.[#intro]A beautifully juicy, vibrant Italian red wine packed with mouth-watering red cherry & berry flavours...[/intro]
